Can you provide any more information...I have a Slingbox, but if I understand what you are saying if I have a WD TV Live unit, I can use the Slingplayer to watch it? Or I use it to connect to my Slingbox?
I'll try and read more from the WD site, but maybe you have that information ready.

The WD TV Live Slingplayer is meant for in-house use. You are "slinging" from the Slingbox to a TV in another room in your home that is hooked up to the WD TV Live using either your wireless or wired network.

Called Sling and after a short series of questions, sent me a replacement ProHD. No charge for the replacement or call.

Well duh!
But honestly, yes that is really exactly the type of thing is for. I use mine to watch shows, recorded, setup, etc for all my directv dvr's from anywhere in the world, on computer, ipad iphone, etc.

So, to be clear, you have 1 Slingbox setup that enables you to see programs stored on either of your DirecTV DVRs?

So yes you can either watch live TV or view DVRd movies/shows.
Great Product, been using mine for 3-4 years now.

But i will say, the directv dvr's have to be close to each other AND the slingbox in order for ONE slingbox to be able to stream from either of them.(unless you use MRV with your directv account) I don't use MRV, but have TWO DVR in the LR, and one slingbox streams their content. I do have ANOTHER slingbox in the BR that streams from the DVR in that room. It is a bit overkill, but I have a lot of SB's in the house regardless.
