It doesn't mean anything for Slingbox really. This is strictly local. The security for DTCP-IP even include a latency limit - I'd have to look it up, but I think it is 8ms. More than that an it is blocked - so no remote connections.
Plus the content is shared as is - large MPEG-2 files don't stream so well over the net. Sling's 'magic' is dynamically adjusting the stream to maximize quality for the given bandwidth while remaining usable.
