This reminds me. Jeremy, any luck on adding Sony DVD Mode 2 and Mode 3 to the remote codes. We've talked about this in the past. I have three Sony DVD 400 disc changers each set to one of the three modes and I would love to be able to control all three with my sling---that would be 1200 DVDs at my fingertips.

Thanks for the reminder on the Sony remote - can one of you shoot me a quick email to discuss this a bit further?

Best,
Jeremy

Thanks for the info. I ordered 3 of the Sony 400 disc changers and another slingbox last night. I also won an Ebay auction for an older a/v switch they use to sell that is really nice (I have 2 in use already) not sure why they quit making it, it is a 6 in 2 out switch and has composite, svideo, optical and can switch between and convert any of them and it will learn any remote code to use to switch sources. Ebay # is 5836999411 if anyone wants to see a picture of it, I think there are some more up on Ebay for sale.

I have never really used these ir-blasters before, would it be better to buy more of them and chain them together (how many can the slinbox run? and where is the best place to buy them?) or use some sort of repeter like the x10 little pyramid things to broadcast to all the devices at the same time?

Just to follow up on the message I posted a couple back about the Radio Shack switch, I stopped into a local Radio Shack and they still had the older 4 in 2 out video switch that can learn any remote to use to switch (instead of sensing power on/off like the newer ones do that would prevent it being used for DVR's) The 4 in 2 out model doesn't have optical inputs/outputs, but it will convert svideo/composite as far as I know. The price was only about $25 also. Not sure what the model number is on it, I can look it up if someone wants it.

If you already have the remote control for the system, i think matt is editing my article on creating your own remote control codes via an ir learning remote - if anyone would like the pre-edit version of the document, then please feel free to email me on mail@lommage.co.uk

I'm with davidg. I am planning to buy the DVP-CX995V, however, I need to be sure I can operate it with the SlingBox first. Please could we get the remote codes? Please, please. I just had a WebChat with Sony and it wasn't encouraging as to compatiblity with codes Sling currently supports.

DavidG, Thanks! I now have a unit on order.

andyBBB, Thanks for the article on remote controls. It looks totally doable and I will be getting the remote unit when the guy comes back from vacation in April or Radio Shack if they have. It's always good to have the capability.

Thanks again to both of you.

HELLO, Sling are you listening? There are those of us as listed above who have Sony DVP-CX995V players. In your newest version, you supported other of the Sony multi-disk players, however, left us out. Why???? Would really like to operate the change disk functions without changing the configuration back & forth between remotes.

I figure I'll try to keep this post going.  I'm also waiting for the remote for the DVPCX995V, dealing with a bunch of work arounds found on this site.  I wonder if we can get a listing of people who are still looking for this. Login and leave a post if you are unhappy with your workaround.  Mofojuju is #1 and I make #2.
