Or, you could just use the new sling.com service, with a user name and password. It does NOT have to be the device user name and password. From there, you father or anyone could just acces the box from a WEB BROWSER IE AND FIREFOX only, and then they don't have to install any software, setup account ID's, etc.
Multiple users on a single slingbox, DOES violate the T&C's, but I just had to say that. :-(
Of course, it HAS been done.
You could also get your folks a slingcatcher, that they simply hookup to their TV and watch everything from the SB or sling.com directly on the TV.
ADMIN password will trump user password, "viewer" password and log people out.
