Dave-
They are relatively easy to set up, you can see in the picture I attached what the back of the entry level model ($90 direct from Slingbox) Slingbox M2 looks like. You put it between the cable box and your TV, no smart TV required. At the place you want to watch, you buy a Roku Stick (or something similar) for $50 that comes with a remote and connects to WiFi. You use that remote to change channels and it will show the identical thing that is being shown on your TV at home.
Pros: Use your cable anywhere, watch DVR'd programs, watch what is locally on where the Slingbox is, great quality - often so good people can't tell it isn't local
Cons: Channel changing is slow, whatever is being watched on the cablebox at home is what is shown - meaning if someone is at home watching the Red Sox on the cable box that the Slingbox is connected to and you are at the second home and want to watch something, you both have to watch the same thing, setup can be a pain - but once it is set up it will work for years without any changes.
