I see that the slingcatcher has a HDMI port.

I wonder if I could use a DVI to HDMI cable in reverse to connect a slingcatcher to a DVI port on a LCD monitor?

If that works for the video I assume you can use the RCA plugs for audio

Shouldn't be any reason you can't..

Any idea if it will mandate HDCP? A lot of the older monitors would not be HDCP compliant.

I'm guessing (and hoping) it won't, but we'll pretty much have to wait and see..

Yes. Anything that is HDMI or DVI can be adapted (either direction) as you suggest using an HDMI / DVI conversion cable for video.  As long there's an alternate way to handle the audio, you should be pleased with the result.

SlingBox Solo & Dish Netwotk: Slung via a Line-Of-Sight WiFi LAN connection consisting of a 24db directional (parabolic grid) antenna and a 500mw signal booster to a remote location exactly 3.81 Miles from my home Comcast Cable WAN connection. Signal strength: 88% to 100%, Actual speedtest throughput 700 to 900 kbps.
