It will work if those cable boxes have component out (or composite out) on the back. Many of the newer models of these are starting to be HDMI-only, but if you have component or composite you are fine (which most do, or you can even get an older model just to use with these).
DirecTV and Dish still have component and composite options on their new receivers (you can still use HDMI to the TV and connect the Slingbox via component - the receiver will output to both simultaneously).
Yes, this model did have some issues: one was capacitors and the other was just the power supply. From my understanding, all of the refurbs have either issue addressed (Note: I have a couple of these refurbs from past purchases and they are on 24/7 and have performed with zero issues).
