Thank you for the update.  I've now updated my UK S/B firmware and my US located Slingplayer software.

The audio only mode appears to stream at around 187 to 188 kbps (on a remote connection).  This is a great improvement over the previous limit of around 90 kbps.  Too early to say anything about the audio qulaity.

This is what you say: 

Want to listen to your home satellite radio service with the best possible quality? Try the new Audio-Only Mode’s compact interface for a great experience!

So, my question is, what is your upper limit for audio only bit rate on a remote connection, assuming that internet connection bandwidth is unlimited?  I think that you can only get to "best quality" for audio at bit rates North of 320 kbps.

I have to agree that the PQ  seems crisper, but my observed streaming rate is very similar to the earlier 1.3 beta - bounces around between 600 - 1500, with occasional jumps to 2000.

PLEASE update the SA 8300 remote to PUT BACK the keyboard shortcuts for LIST, A, B, & C buttons - you used to have these and lost them some how. 

Sorry Brian. My wireless and wired network (LAN) is way above average. Using V1.2.0.157 I was topping out with 2.1MB/sec. Since using V1.3.0.168 and now V1.3.0.175 max speed is 1550 MB/sec. I am using FW version 1.0.80 and refuse to upgrade to 1.0.86 or 1.0.89. I use Applian At-Large Recorder. SlingMedia's lack of third party support for this stream recorder and the "so-called" implementation plan to encode or encrypt the stream is a weak substitute  for confronting the DVR, cable and  broadcast industry lawyers.  

 Bottom Line: get back into that code and fix the feature bug.

This is weird, in the previous beta I was getting 2100+ kbps on my internal lan right after connecting. With this beta I started at 900 kbps and then after 5 minutes it's gone up to 2100 kbps. I dont know why it didnt start right away at the max bandwidth.

Any news on support for more devices like KiSS players? I dont think you can ever support all devices out there, so might be easier to allow users to create their own IR profiles.

AWESOME! NEW FIRMWARE GOES UP TO 3 MEGABIT STREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Latest firmware and client said "FAILED" when install completed, however it did appear to install correctly (slingbox works and has the xx.89 firmware.

 Also seems to address the slower streaming I was seeing with the prev firmware version!  Thanks Jeremy for listening to our concerns and fixing (or finding folks to fix) whatever needed fixing for this latest version!

So far so good - back to 2000kbps!

For me is working fine with the cable box input, but with antenna option the image is freezing! (the streaming speed is very slow, in the LAN)

any ideia how to fix it?

thanks

The beta is asking me to update the Slingbox's firmware. I'm still playing with the beta and I don't want to change the firmware if it means I can't go back to the old software release if I have a problem with the beta release. Anyone know if the two are compatible? 

japanime said: I updated both the player and the firwmare, and now several of the channels that were previously available under the earlier player and firmware are no longer accessible.

Are you using the internal tuner? Did you try to rescan the channels?

For whatever it's worth, after every update I rescan my channels as I did this time and I'm currently seeing the full range of channels including those above 70.

Dave, you were right. All I needed to do was rescan the channels.
