Channel guide and custom favorites problem in Europe ?

Hi,

I downloaded the French version of Slingplayer 2.0.3 which is a nice improvment indeed !

There seem to be 2 unsolved issues :

- There is no program guide for France.
- There are no custoim icons for French channels and no way to add theml manually.

Any help on these issues would be most welcome !

Regards,

Elie

What are you talking about? It's on the UK download site now.

Out now! I just downloaded it from the UK Download web site. No programme guide though but the software works fine with my Slingbox Classic.

Hi, in Netherlands no program guide (at least not on analogue cable connection). Probably only when it is digital cable.
Question: are the also slingboxes that we can connect in other countries, to see other channels?

Thanks for the update, but surely the point of an update is to improve features, not remove them? With older slingplayer versions channel names of coax connections could be seen, eg channel 1 - BBC1 etc but with this they are gone

V1.5.1 - http://img32.imageshack.us/i/151p.jpg/
V2 - http://img24.imageshack.us/i/latestm.jpg/

but during the coax setup of slingplayer v2 you see the channels and names???

Surely you should sort out the basics like this and the EPG for coax connections in europe before you start messing around with more advanced features such as buffers etc!

Maybe you misread... I am not complaining about the playability/quality of slingplayer, and i agree that streaming works very well indeed. What i do not understand is how an older version 1.5.1 has features which have been removed in the latest release, which can clearly be seen in the pics I posted! The point of an upgrade is that features should be improved/added and not removed, as some clearly have been in V2.

Lastly, we with a "Slingbox pro" do not require to have an external tuner/dvb for coax connections... That's the whole point of buying a pro!! Again the EPG is something which works in an older release of the software, but not the current one!

My posts are not meant to offend/insult, but simply to make people/developers aware of issues so they can be ironed out! Even you agree that it would be very nice to see a V2.x with all the features of the older slingplayers, combined with those of the current release!
