Do you mean up to your cablebox, or up to your tv? It needs to have access to some type of content, a tv tuner, cablebox, etc.

Yep, you can.

But you need the slingbox with the built in tuner:

This is correct - the tuner in the Slingbox Pro eliminates the need for a cable box, dvr or satellite receiver. Besides the benefits of being able to watch what you want when away from home, I like to sit out back with a laptop and a cigar watching the game - best money I've spent.
