HDMI from the V+ is digital. The Slingbox only accepts analogue. You need a device to do the conversion, like the HDFury, not just a cable to connect them.

I did try component video from the SCART socket on a V HD box to a Slingbox Pro's "HD" input using their dongle adapter thingy, hoping it might give a better picture than composite, but it failed to work. Probably with the bandwidth available on most Slingbox connections across the Internet you don't really gain much by component anyway.
