You can set her up as a guest user, or just give her the username and password for the account. Just note that if you are watching the TV that's hooked up and she logs on, she can disconnect you form what you are watching and vice verse.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As long as she has the login used to setup the account she can login with any computer that has an internet connection and access the box.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can. You can setup the sling box account and a password, you can give her the main password or setup a guest password for her to log into as a guest. She may have to download software to be able to play, but its good for mac or pc.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can do that. You'll need a computer in the Slingbox location to configure the Slingbox, but as long as the remote user's computer meets the minimum system requirements for the Slingbox 500 (http://www.slingbox.com/go/slingbox-500-techspecs), and has the SlingPlayer plugin installed they'll be able to stream just fine.
