Product description from manufacturer
The Slingbox TUNER is the perfect companion for your basic cable subscription. With the ability to watch and control your cable TV, the Slingbox TUNER ensures that you can enjoy your live TV entertainment anywhere you go. Turn every computer you use into a portable TV without the need to connect a coax cable. Using an Internet connected computer or compatible mobile phone, you can watch your basic cable TV anywhere around your home or around the globe. With a Slingbox TUNER you will never be separated from your favorite TV shows, sports broadcasts, or breaking news stories. The Slingbox TUNER is designed for TVs without a set-top cable box or satellite receiver (if you want to connect a set-top box, DVR, or satellite receiver, take a look at the Slingbox AV or Slingbox PRO). All you need to do is take the coaxial cable coming from your wall and plug it into the back of the Slingbox TUNER. We've even thrown in a cable splitter too in case you are using the cable for a cable modem or directly to a TV set. Connecting the Slingbox TUNER is about as easy as hooking up an old VCR, and the best part is there's no blinking 12: 00.
