Hello, I heard that you cannot use the Slingbox with the new AT&T TV service (called "U-verse") is that true? The set top box is a Tatung Set Top Box 5000. Question 2, can I use my regular slingbox with an HD cable box? Thanks!

I just got U Verse Installed today.  I got a Motorola VIP-1216 DVR and none of the Sling Motorola Codes work.

 Anyone get U Verse to work with their Slingbox?

I have the same problem with the Motorola Uverse VIP 1216 DVR box!

 

can they please do something about this?!?!

 

we are being patient. :)

Is there anything new about compatibility with the Uverse Motorola... anybody working on it..?

Meanwhile, how do you guys like Uverse Vs cable?  It became available in Dallas today. 

 

March 6, 2007 9:31 AM

Its nice but has a way to go.

It's missing simple stuff like PPV (no live PPV events such as UFC, Wrestling or Boxing) and the VOD selection STINKS and it  has no real VOD services like cable does. (ie no Showtime on Demand, HBO on Demand, Howard TV,  WWE 24/7 etc)

The HD quality is not as good as the picture on my Dish Network setup and a big limiter of this service if you can only watch HD on one TV in your house at a time, so if you have more then one HDTV (like I do) then your always fighting over the single HD stream.

There has been ZERO progress on getting the Slingbox Pro to work with the Uverse Motorola boxes.  I would be happy to send my remote to Sling if it helped them out and speeded up this process.

For more about Uverse please check out my full review at

That’s a remarkably thorough review that reminds me why I don’t want to always be an early adopter.   The fact that only one  HD stream can come at a time coupled with the weak VOD lineup makes it a non-starter. Still … I wish Slingbox would work to include the Moto VIP 1200 series boxes so it could be an option

Has anyone gotten the Motorola VIP-1216 to work with a SlingBox?  My understanding is that it uses Philips RCMM and a 36kHz carrier.

No luck as of yet. :(

I do wish that someone from Sling could give us an update. (please) :)

Still nothing?

http://www.slingcommunity.com/article/10580/How-to-Add-New-Remote-Control-Codes-to-Your-Slingbox/

Has anyone looked into that?

Edit:

I think some has made it work. There is an entry for Motorola VIP1200 http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=category&cat_id=11

Follow the instructions on the first link and try the file provided in the second link. You will see a download link after you click on the Motorola VIP1200 link.

I'm getting my Uverse installed in 2 weeks so I'll test it out then.

I get that message too. I did download the older version and it opened up. But I don't know what the heck I'm doing. I'm not smart enough for these things Cry

There is another product that works with Uverse.  It has IR learning. Whats so hard about impletmenting IR learning?

I'm even willing to drive over to their HQ with a Uverse box and remote. It's about 45-60 mins away from me. Not the one in India, the one in CA. The Hava device only lets you use one box per network. Won't work with 2 for some reason so I need this Sling to work Frown

Did you guys fill out the remote not included form?

Well I tried a file sonone sent over to me with my Pro (Thanks Dan) but it would not control my VIP1216 UVerse receiver.

I don't if this was made from the VIP1200 file at the hi-fi remote site. 

I did check the IR emitors from the Slingbox and the codes I was sent was indeed sending IR.  So it appears the 1200 codes are wrong for the 1216 receiver.

What I did was opened the Motorola_VIP1200.txt file from the IR.exe program found in Hifi Remote's website. Copied the info into Remote Master and exported the binary file.

I got Remote Master to work by using the old version of it. Scroll towards the bottom of the sourceforge page and use version v1.76. Choose Slingbox as Remote and PVR as device type.

Maybe someone who's done this before can give it a crack.

Hey guys - I need a couple of volunteers to test out new IR codes for these 2 devices:

  • VIP1200 (U-verse)
  • VIP1216 (U-verse)

Any takers?  Email the Subject "IR U-verse Test" to srylander at slingmedia dotcom.  In your email, let me know if you're currently using a custom remote file, as I'd like to cover this test case as well.

Thanks!

I also got the Pro yesterday and have the 2 motorola boxes.  Luckily I am in the IPTV headend.  I have emailed Sharon with Sling Media and I am willing to test any files she has to help with getting this working with the 1200 or 1216.  I will update as I find something.  If anyone finds any work arounds please let me know.

 

Thanks
