Old slingbox

Hi,

I’m considering getting the WDTV Live box to stream a slingbox. The slingbox is the one pictured here: www.engadget.com/2007/11/23/black-friday-giveaways-part-13-slingbox-pro-hd-connect-cabl/

Will it definetly work? I would also like to set the WDTV to connect via my PPTP VPN, is this possible?

According to WD the box should be OK

The link on your post shows a picture of the slingbox pro which is not compatible with the wdtv box.  The “hd” connector does not turn it into the “pro-hd” version which is compatible.
