I just got my Pro unit,  up until today I have owned 2 regular Slingboxes, but today I have added a Pro Unit to my setup.

The setup instructions say that you can't use the new software with the old Slingbox units, but so far I have had no issues controlling the old units. 

One thing I am noticing however is I have a Coolsat 5000 Free To Air Satellite Receiver that I was able to control with my old unit (however now where the receiver is I need to use the pro as I have a few AV items I need hooked up in that location)

 In the old software I put the bin file in the sbav directory, then in the settings I would punch in S1554 when I selected other as the receiver type.  Now when I do that it does not work (I get an error at the setup screen when it tries loading the file)

How do I get this working again with custom remote setups?

Ok I got it working.

 IM AN IDIOT.

I was typing in the wrong name for the controller file. (duh!)  I was typing s1555 instead of s1554.

 Now when I get my HD connecter I will be very happy with my pro. :D

Is it possible you are trying to use a JU version of S1554 and need the PL version?
