[Tfug] Does anybody know about using the Slingbox (or similar?) under Linux?

Even if a slingbox would work, with directv the tuning is done by the
decoder box, so unless it's dual tuner, or you have a separate box,
you're going to be interrupting what she's watching.

As for similar devices, I've got an HDHomerun - works great, but only
with OTA or clear QAM sources.
