Instead of using the HD homerun, can I use the Slingbox on linuxmce?

I gave the slingbox a shot with a mythbox and had no luck.  my suggestion is to try the HDhomerun.

also see the following post as it relates to the slingbox

Hmmm...you can use either with LinuxMCE...however the HDhomerun is a network digital twin tuner box for streaming digital TV around you network...and the SlingBox is designed to stream TV primarilly to you when your outside your home and provides codecs and client software for various portable devices and PC's. The two are really quite different devices and are really designed to do very different jobs.

All the best
