I’m thinking of making the switch from cable TV to Satellite service, but want to see if anyone knows if I can avoid getting a standalone HD satellite box for my slingbox. If I use DishTV’s ViP 722 HD box & plug my TV into the HDMI plug for normal at home viewing. Will everything work  correctly if the slingbox is plugged into the ViP 722 component connection (Y Pb Pr) via the slingbox HD connect cable and the TV still plugged into the HDMI port? I would also use the audio from the ViP 722 component connection, but I’m trying to avoid the extra expense of a standalone satellite box without losing anything with the mentioned setup (if it even works)!! BTW, the standalone box would be a ViP 211. I'm using a SlingBox Pro ~ Thanking you in advance
