Yes, you can setup a Slingbox without having a TV. HOWEVER, You DO have to have a set-top box of some sort. This is due to the fact that the inputs on the Slingbox (both the basic and HD version) are component audio/video or HDMI in the case of the Slingbox HD. As a result, you would need to connect the coaxial cable to a set-top box and then connect the set-top box to the Slingbox.

However, you might be able to find a coaxial cable that gives you component audio/video on the other end (and thus not need a set-top box). I'm not too familiar with such cables.
