I had the Slingbox and just got the Blackjack. It does not show the screen unless you hit the * and that is just for a moment. After a while, I get a screen in the lower left and its on its side. The sound is constantly running but no picture. I think there is an issue here tha Slingbox has not addressed. If it worked for my 3125 and it worked for the Q smartphone, why doesnt it work on this device????

 This is not cool. Slinbox, get to work please.

I emailed Sharon from Slingbox to see if we can test out the Dash Beat too. These devices are on the same architecture. We need a fix.

Hi all...

 I too am a proud new owner of a Samsung BlackJack (i607).  When I first installed the slingbox mobile player, I experienced the same problem that djsouthpaw mentioned...  I called the support desk, but they noted they were aware of the issue, and took my info...they've promised to get this taken care of soon...especially since this is very popular new phone...

 NOW FOR THE GOOD PART!!!

 I have found a workaround...

 It seems the issue is that the sling player doesn't properly support the native resolution of the BlackJack's screen (320x240) (i figured this out because I could see the video when I pressed the menu button...).  Here's what you need to do:

 1. Launch sling mobile player but do not connect

2. click on Menu > Player Options > Encoding

3. Scroll down, and uncheck "auto resolution mode"

4. Change the video resolution to "160x120"

5. Hit OK...and you're set!

 The downside is that, unless you view in full screen, the size of the image is real small...  But watching it in full screen should be fine... and hopefully the picture quality will improve if Sling can get this to work in 320x240... 

 ENJOY!

It is working very well, my only question is how you get the favorites to appear...ie your fav networks etc etc...i can't seem to make it work. Should be # sign or space bar but neither are working for me. Any ideas?

DJSouthpaw,

 Glad it worked out for you!!!

 And no worries about posting at HowardForums...just logged on, and saw you posted the workaround (and gave me credit, which is much appreciated!).  Hopefully this helps some of the frustrated Sling users out there... 

thanks for the temp fix, though the quality is realy bad at full screen , i guess we can put up for it until sling decides to get thier stuff together, mean time i am using ORB for now ..

I dont Understand why its taking so long its just a support for 320 X 240 size , its not like the Dash where there is it crashes and wont even play...

put me down for a beta test

And be anle to have the favorites on the bottom as well. I havent heard anything from Sling but this issue is getting major exposure already. Can we get the dash version that all those testers say work well? Hello Sling? Are you reading this?

I have a sling box pro...I still need to set the reso to 160x120 before I start my stream? Also does anyone know the minimum uppload speed on your slingbox's end to remotely stream 640x480. Im guessing it would have to be 700kbps or so?

Its sad that no one from Sling has gotten back to anyone including me regarding this issue. Can they make the t-mo latest beta version available to us too??? That one seems to work with better resolution. Hello Sling, is anyone there?
