Good luck with that one. For some stupid reason, they're not allowing the Euro/US codes to be interchangeable. It's very annoying.

I've a similar problem, with a U.S. Slingbox that is in Ireland. I'm in the U.S. I can't get the "Euro" codes that are available in the UK version of the Slingbox. It's really frustrating.

What's even more irritating, is Sling Media's S-I-L-E-N-C-E on this. You'll notice, as i did, that neither they nor their moderators ever respond to posts on this question.

Wait 'til you see...nobody will respond to this...

Sorry Brandon, I tend to get annoyed about these things, and thus I'll post some angry blurbs sometimes. Usually though, I have good reason!

As we know, the US/UK versions of the Slingbox are definitely different. The software however, I have now deduced to be the same. I cannot find any difference in the UK version. Installing the UK version does not give me the UK codes (Sky, etc.).

I had the US software on my computer originally, and tried uninstallng it and then reinstalling the UK version. that worked okay, but when I came to "Choose the country you are in" the UK was not an option.

At first I thought maybe there was something about my computer, that it was "remembering" that the old software was on there: I uninstalled it again, cleaned out the registry, and did a search for all files and folders containing the word "sling."

That still didn't work. I'm a computer consultant by trade, and therefore have Ghost "images" of all my computers, so I completly hosed the computer - effectively a Windows reinstall. I even went as far as using the Regional Settings to setup UK English, keyboard, etc.

Guess what? It still didn't work! No UK codes!

Here's what I think happens: The first thing the SlingPlayer Setup does is says, "Where's your Slingbox?" After it finds your Slingbox, it goes through the rest of the setup. As far as I can tell, if it finds a US Slingbox, it will never give you the opportunity to say, "I am in the UK." There is something "hard coded" in there to prevent that, once it detects you have a US Slingbox.

Someone is going to have to reverse compile the software to figure this out. I don't have the time. I've already spent 3 x trips to Ireland (from San Francisco!) getting this setup.

I've also spent a lot of time on JP1 remotes, but still haven't got full remote codes for my devices in Ireland.

Nonetheless, despite my anger and occasional outburst, I am generally happy with my setup. I found some codes that give me Power and Numeric Keyboard on my Irish Pace (NTL) cable box, so I can at least turn the box on and off, and manually enter the channel I need.

Thanks though, and any further ideas welcome!

Macker,any chance you can tell me how you got control over power and channels for Pace box dci 221 which have installed in Galway.

I've tried most codes without success.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I tried what you suggestede,but could not find the imajic option.

I t must not be listed in the UK version ( I have Pal box in Galway)

I am in Galway now and would love to be able to get NTL digital channels when I get back to Boston.

The set up shows dc221kkd  but it does not  control.

I have tested the emmitter with a camera and it is transmitting.

I have the emmitter positioned on the extreme right of the box ,right where the power light blinks when I use the remote control.

Any other advice would be appreciated.
