Sling is forcing their firmware down your throat. The sling player constantly wants you to upgrade. So I finally gave in, and upgraded my firmware from the out of the box firmware to the newest available firmware.

I "WAS" slinging with a Viewsat Pro PVR I used the remote code S2047. It worked great. After the upgrade the code no longer worked, I ended up working with a sling tech, he used "logme in" to see what was going on, then he determined that it was a bug in the firmware that they know about. I asked if I can send it back for another, they said no because I upgraded the firmware. What the hell is that??? I asked if I can downgrade, they said its not possible. I asked him if I had a useless brick and he said, here fill out this form and "MAYBE" well put it in our next firmware upgrade. So now I have nothing, and support didn't help me. If you don't believe me I have the conversation saved, I'll PM it to you if you want.

Sling has a great product but horrible support, they don't even read their own forums, these forums are slingers helping slingers. Anyway, don't end up like me. Don't upgrade your firmware, sling won't support you, or help you! I'm a prime example. Consider yourself warned!
