Yes, it is...

I'm not actually a Slingbox user - I just know how to create the JP1 files you need to create your custom remotes, which is a pretty straightforward process for any reasonably experienced JP1 user, thanks to the great software support built into our tools by the real experts here - (the Slingbox uses a JP1 compatible chip).
From what I found in a quick search, seems like you might be able to share access to the stream, but
maybe only one user at a time - someone will correct me if that's wrong.
Since you can log into your setup over the internet, I see no basic theoretical reason you couldn't give someone else your login details and let them use your setup, provided they can install the necessary software. This may help, but it's not very detailed:

Of course, they might be controlling your devices - or you'd be controlling what they saw - so that might be inconvenient if you wanted to watch something else !!! And, obviously you'd want to be very careful who you gave details to...
There might be other restrictions in the Slingbox software that prevent this sort of thing - I'm not an expert.
This article:

does say this:
Due to concerns from content providers, the Slingbox can only stream to one client at a time. This prevents the simultaneous use of the Slingbox by multiple users. The Sling setup provides a general password and an administrator password; as long as you keep the admin password to your self, you can always kick off other users.

Yes - I recognise it's Greek - I learnt Ancient Greek at school many years ago - if I ever slip through a time warp and meet Aristophanes, and need to warn him that he needs to stop writing plays about birds, wasps and/or frogs for a while, and head for the hills, because the Peloponnesians are storming the ramparts, I might be able to have a shot at it...
Seriously, I know the alphabet, which can be useful (especially for local signage when I visited) and since Ancient Greek is the root of many English and Scientific words I might not otherwise recognise, it's a very helpful education which I'm constantly glad to have had, and much of it "stuck"

. It's also a very beautiful language, in many ways.
Modern Greek, though - I know nothing except what I can guess from the above - so basically nothing at all.
Anyway, back on topic...
Harmony is a "family" of Universal Remotes made by Logitech.
They tend to be much more expensive than JP1 remotes, and you can only program them with horrible online software.
I have one because my wife likes them - I don't personally care for them either to use, or to program (the software is horrible) - but, as we've seen here, and in other places, having access to their download database can be very useful.
To create an upgrade using the Harmony I have to download the device, learn all the buttons on a JP1 learning remote, then create the relevant JP1 files from the decoded Harmony learns. There's no quicker way, because the Harmony software uses a proprietary, closed format, binary "blob" of the entire user setup each time you download.
That means it takes me at least around 20-30 minutes to create one of these upgrades - mostly due to the horrible, slow Harmony software.
Did I mention the Harmony software was horrible, and slow?
hope some of that rambling response helps...
