If you put a 2-1 splitter in the line before the cable box, you can run one cable line to your component cable adapter & the 2nd cable line directly to the SlingBox.
You then run the setup assistant twice, once for each input.
At that point, from your phone you will have a choice of either
(under options>change device) COAX: basic cable or Component: Cable Box. If you choose COAX, you will only get basic cable (no premium channels like HBO etc) but it will not affect what is being shown on the home TV.
I find this handy in another way also. Sometimes if my network signal is kinda weak I can switch to the basic cable setup & get better Sling reception.
