beans,
if you are using the latest build, you can configure both inputs to work and switch between them using the SlingPlayer software interface. Here's a link with more info: http://www.slingcommunity.com/article/10408/

I've connected my Slingbox to my TiVO via an antenna (RF) cable. During setup, I can set the Sling to External Box (DVR) or Internal Tuner.
With the External Box settings, I can control TiVo and watch live TV via TiVo. But if TiVo is recording something, I can only watch that program or something recorded.
With the Internal Tuner setting, the RF cable connected to the TiVo just passes the cable signal through to the Sling and I can watch it like regular TV.
What I want is to be able to have both: Watch TiVo and watch cable when I turn off TiVo. Can this be done with just the one RF cable connected to the Sling?
If not, this would be a great feature and it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to add since one can make the change during setup without making any physical changes to the setup. All that I would need to have this work is the option to switch between the Internal Tuner Remote and the TiVo Remote.
Thanks.
Jeremy,
Thanks for the response. I think you gave me a wrong link as it discussed the PAL version. I am using the latest build, and I understand that one can switch between different inputs (ie. RF versus A/V cables), but I'm using one input; the RF cable.
When my TiVo is on, I get the feed from my TiVo. When my TiVo is off, the TiVo just passes through my cable signal. But since I have the system setup to control TiVo, I can't control the cable signal when I just want to use the pass-thru. If I setup my system to control cable, I can't control the TiVo.
What I need is a way to switch remotes so I can switch between the internal tuner and the TiVo remotes.
Thanks.

Sorry about the wrong link, here's the right one: http://www.slingcommunity.com/article/10374/
Bottom line is, download the latest build, which includes the feature you are asking for!
Best,
Jeremy
