Sherman,

Did you repeat the IR setup steps after downloading 107?

Best,
Jeremy

I am having the same problem, just bought my slingbox today, works great....but...the guide and menu buttons etc, do not work. They pull up the guide or menu on the tv, but not on the remote laptop. I have the Motorola DCT6412. I cannot access my DVR, which is obviously a HUGE concern, please help!

Sherman - if you don't mind, send me an email, I'd like to see if we can't find a good workaround for you.

Nashuaslick - what software version are you using?

Andrew - is it possible you downloaded, but did not install the 107 build?

Best,
Jeremy

Jeremy,

I still downloaded 1.0.4.107. It would not write over .105 so I deleted all the software from my computer and reinstalled. The slingbox with the most up to date firmware is still losing the connection even after a brief time. I emailed you all my info in terms of equipment and routers. Any further idea as to how to rectify the situation?

Thanks!

Andrew

I am using 1.0.4.107 according to the Help-About Slingplayer... dialogue.

I can change channels, power on and off, but guide, info don't work. Menu and input are grayed and not clickable.

On the good side, I am watching my Nashua, NH Cable in L.A., CA and it's working great! That's diagonally across the entire country, impressive!

Cyberguy I am having the same problem..Are you running the slingbox wireless?

Andrewp, I'm runing the SlingBox through a Netgear Powerline adapter.

Went through the setup process several times... I'm having the same trouble on two PC's.. Didn't have this poblem until I updated the SlingPlayer Software & SlingBox Firmware.

I don't know if this is a feature yet, as I have yet to try it, but I would like to see the following:

I plan, to use the slingplayer on various computers, laptop, home, work, parents, friends, etc. Downloading the player is no problem, but I would like to have a fastrack to SETTING UP the player software on the local machine. I don't know if my player UNIQUE ID sends all this information to the slingplayer software on the initial connection, but I would like that to either occur, or be able to SAVE A CONFIG file someone and send it as an email attachement, so that all I have to do when trying to setup a new location, is click on the file, or IMPORT the file and then boom I am good to go.

Is that possible.? (well, we KNOW it is possible, question is is that the way it works somewhere now, or can it be done?)

I just upgraded my Norton Internet Security from 2004 to the new version 2006. Everything worked great until I tried to open my sling player (1.0.4.107) I received a message saying "msxml4 or later msxml parser was needed and told me to go to microsoft.com. I went to microsoft and downloaded the msxml.msi file ran the download and now everything works fine. Norton even automaticaly configured the firewall for sling. I had to do this myself before. But... now for the big question is the xml4 file something that is now needed by Norton or did I screw something up in the sling software when I was donloading the Norton update? I did try and rerun the sling install with no luck. The only thing that fixed it was the microsoft download.

thanks!
I figured you guys would already be there, at that point. I'll try it tomorrow at my first test location!

looking forward to slinging from moscow, cairo, london, SLINGapore, honk kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Amati and others later this month. Will report back what my experiences are!
