In MAC it's very easy just open the Slingplayer and while the Slingbox is streaming video click on the VIEW menu in the top then press the "Atl" key and while is pressed select "Show statics window" and you will get the statics.
How to see your Slingbox Stats LIVE!
Categories: General Sling Related Discussion SlingPlayer PC
Have you ever needed to see just what your Slingbox is doing? Is it sending you a 640*480 stream, 320*240? What Bitrate are you getting? What's your average bitrate?
These numbers can definitely help you troubleshoot any problems you may have.
Here is how you do can see these stats.
When running your Sling Player hold down the ALT the SHIFT and "I" button. A window should pop up and show you your stats.
Here is what it looks like:
So, next time you are wondering what your Slingplayer is actually doing, or need to troubleshoot it. Try the ALT>SHIFT >I function.
This works on PCs, you MAC guys let us know if you can do the same.

Oh sweet. I was wondering how to do that! Brandon told me about the PC statistics window some time ago and I never could figure it out on the Mac side. I kept trying key combinations. Didn't think to use a menu-key combo..

When asking for setup help please include whether you are using a PC or Mac and if you are using the Standalone Slingplayer or the web based setup program.

That is a great question. You might try a few things, but I will give it a try once I get a chance to connect using my mobile. Will let you know if I figure something out.

There are two settings when running Sling player. First make sure you are running Sling player 2.0. Afterwards you will see either the Kbps or the Fpbs. You can click on that and toggle (change) what you are seeing.

What if I am not getting a video signal on my TV thru the SlingBox Pro-HD from my Scientific Atlanta Explorer HDC box? I not only don't get a signal on my TV, but also on the test box when setting up the Sling.
