Fundamentally, yes, the above scenario will work. Keep in mind that watching TV at your house in MA is going to be highly dependent on your Metrocast connection. The Slingbox needs to send video out of the house, using the upstream bandwidth, and of course the Metrocast connection needs to be up.
My personal experience with Metrocast would lead me to expect a decent amount of downtown and limited upstream bandwidth for this application. Meaning that your image at the house in MA is likely to be less then full HD a lot of the time, and completely unavailable an random times.
I'd buy the slingbox and test it for a month or two before fully committing to this approach.
