Hi Community hi Sling Employee

 I'm very dissapointed from the Slingbox support, I spoke with the UK guys and the US guys, with both I chatted roundabout 30 Minutes about the problem with the remote control from the Dreambox from Dream Media.

 I own a Slingbox pro, the only thing I need that it gets perfect is to have the remote control from Dream, I know, that in the UK Sling, you have the Dream stuff in, why not in the US version I own ?

 Is it really that tricky ? If yes, what's makes it that tricky ? I think the IR development and know how on the Dream stuff you have, wouldn't it be great to satisfie alot of your customers ? Just go to google and type "Slingbox & Dreambox" you will read from alot dissapointed users.

 So please include in your next update or make a patch or whatever.

 When can we get that, I would really appreciate just a statement.

 Thanks a lot

Daniel

Where did you hear that the UK sling supports it? I can't find it anywhere.

Just take a look on page 71 in this guide, there you will see the dreambox

why dnt you just use the web xtv html link when you log into the dreambox remotely?

this also keeps the stream fast as when you change the channel with sling control it slows the stream down.

just log-in to ur dreambox with ur dns on a web browser.

if you havn't set this up it's easy to do just go to dnydns & get dns updater as well as ur isp constantly change ur public ip for security.

ignore the top line dnt use web xtv link as this is fro local viewing.

but use the control tab or you can bring the dreambox remote up using the remote tab....

dnt knw what model you have but I have the 7020.

Thanks for your answers,

   after spending too much time trying to add Dreambox 7020 remote code to sling player, I ddefinitively tought it was easier to use remote tab from  DB WebInterface.

 What do you mean by  "ignore the top line dnt use web xtv link as this is fro local viewing. but use the control tab ....." Is there a way to access remote tab without launching webinterface ??

   Thank you again for the help and tips.

i meant web xtv this is a hyperlink on left hand side which basically does the same job as slingbox but only locally & not remotely.

no you would def have to launch web interface to access the remote tab.
