I've got a Tivo R10 connected to my Slingbox. I've tried a bunch of the different remotes/IR codes and they all seem to have the same problem. The CLEAR button/code does not issue a Tivo CLEAR, it sends you back to Live TV. In addition, the LIVE TV button doesn't seem to do anything at all. Someone at the AVS Forum seemed to experience the same problem.

Problems with beta
1. The Replay Guide Button on ReplayTV remote launches Channel Guide.
2. The Channel Guide button is greyed out.
Feature Request.
1. Means to have two configurations for the coax input. i.e I have my replaytv output over coax to the slingbox. If my replay is recording something I turn it off and reconfigure the slingbox to use it's internal tuner.
2. Commercial Advance button for Replaytv Remote.
That may have been me. I started a thread here, with my problems with the TiVo remote.

I've found that the Zero code remote has less problems, but the "clear" button on Now Playing is still not working right.
On the bright side, the brightness controls are great. And the quality of the picture seems to have improved quite a bit also. I tried a full screen video and it is extremely watchable as long as the upload/download speed is sufficient.
no, not a problem, I'm trying to find the best place to put this stuff. Jeremy is kind enough to be working with me on it at the moment.
bobkunkle,
We've added new codes. You probably need to complete the Brand, Model and Control Code screens. That should get you the ReplayTV buttons you need.
Let us know if it doesn't work.

Bruce,
Thanks, resetting the replaytv codes fixed the items previously listed as problems.
A few things I have noticed on 1.0.4.105:
#1. (minor): The "list" button is greyed out on my remote after I got the "new" Tivo interface. (By the way, the new remote is great!) I have a HD Tivo (10-250), and used "DirecTV with Tivo 1" (I have 2 tivo's so 0 will not work).
#2. (cosmetic, but odd): In trying to get the "list" button to work, I re-ran the setup again, and chose "tivo 1". This time it gave me the old style remote. (I managed to switch back with no issues.)
#3. (feature request for release version): I really like the ability to switch between different sources, but it isn't really useful unless I can assign some more remotes. In my house, I use video modulators, so several devices are shown on specific channels. So, I would like to be able to tell it that my Tivo is on s-video, and a Sony DVD player is on Coax/channel 22 for example. This is the one thing that sling is missing to make it perfect! There is another request for exactly the same thing here: http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/10294/
Your product is getting better and better.
Thank you for all your hard work. I have sold several of these for you, and continue to do so.

I downloaded 1.0.4.105.
I was prompted to update the firmware, which I did.
After this, I cpuld no longer connect. (I had been using port 443).
I then reset the Slingbox and I was prompted to go through the entire configuration process. I had to reset the LAN address, the port number, and the rcvr code.
Then, everything worked.
As to features, like somebody else I'd sure like a "video mute" so that all the bandwidth could be assigned to the audio.
Thanks for a great product!
UltimateTV remote issues:
* The menu button is present, but doesn't respond to mouse-over.
* The page up/down button is also present, but doesn't respond to mouse-over. (This issue is also present in the current production release.)
* There are files in the skins directory for the UTV remote that aren't being picked up.
My current remote is S1392
Two things - on my earlier question on Tivo remote, I've used S1142 and have now got LIVE working, but CLEAR still doesn't work - goes to live TV.
New question - in favorites, I've upgraded both client and firmware. Is there supposed to be a library of logos available when you select Logo instead of channel name? The help file indicates that there should be, but mine is blank.
Thanks.
When switching devices (eg. between the internal tuner and the satellite box), should the shortcut buttons also change? I am finding that they don't.
For example, on the internal turner, FoxNews is 59. On the satellite, it is 360. It seems to me that the buttons should be specific to the selected tuner.
Since my upgrade to the beta player and the corresponding firmware, I lose connection when someone else (family out of town) tries to connect. I have to power cycle the sling box in order to get it to connect to my local desktop again.
Is this a known problem? I am using a linksys WGA54G and a Linksys WRT54GX router.
Thanks!

Check your drive for this directory C:\Program Files\Sling Media\SlingPlayer\Channels. Your channel icons should be there. If you installed the Slingplayer in another directory try moving the channels directory to that directory
My connection timed out again. I did not have any of these problems before the Beta. Are there logs or something that we can look up? I have to power cycle the WGA54G and the slingbox in order to have access again. Should I do a hard reset?
Thanks!

Hi,
Problem with Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000 and 8300 interfaces
The LIST button does not bring up the recorded items list, as it should. I tried both the SA 8300 interface in "DVRs" and the SA 8000 interface in "Cable boxes"
All other remote commands work, but this one.
It seems as if the streaming quality is better, even with no hogher a streaming rate .. keep the good stuff cummin' !!!
Jeff
Can you please add the DASH (-) button to the Tivo remote for the HR10-250 !!! I don't have locals because I get the OVER-AIR digital local stations and need to change channels like:
2-1 4-1 5-1 7-1 9-1 11-1
Please add that feature.
Keep up the good work !!!
I downgraded the firmware and the box and network stay up and running just fine. Let me know if you want me to trobuleshoot with you.
Andrew
Jeff,
Please make sure you are using the latest beta, AND repeat the IR code setup process. The button should be there.
Best,
Jeremy
Hi Jeremy,
The "LIST" button IS there, and it does transmit the command properly to the TV through the IR blaster(meaning, when I press it, and I see the "pending" message on the bottom of the Slingplayer happen). It just doesn't perform the function -- it does nothing.
I of course, have upgraded to the latest beta, AND the new firmware, AND redid the IR code setup process.
