I have a new at&t BlackJack II with the Slingplayer mobile client (v1.6.0.49) and I can connect to my Slingbox Classic with no issues (connecting over 3G). However, I can't change to any 3 digit channel, it will always change to the last 1 or 2 digits entered, so that if I enter 532, I can see the on-screen display of my TV pop up a 5...3....2, and then tunes to 32 or sometimes just 2.
I've tried tech support which was useless (no suggestion beyond re-installing Slingplayer, which I've already done...twice. I've also power cycled the Slingbox & DVR (just in case). No change.
I've played with the IR speed as setup on my PC Slingplayer...tried Fast, Medium & Slow...same results.
I'm controlling a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD connected to my TV via component. I can control the channels fine from my Win XP PC Slingplayer with no issues. I just changed phones from a XV6700 PPC which also had worked fine with my setup...just my new BlackJack II that I'm having this problem with.
The one thing I have observed is that it seems to be tuning each number entered as separate channels...for example with 532...I can see the onsreen display banner change to channel 5, then to either 32 or 2.
So what is going on here? Please remember that I've tried all IR speeds and it doesn't change this behavior at all.
Look forwarding to finding an answer to this.
Thanks,
Chris

So I've tested this some more, and the problem seems to be that the DVR (SA8300) is tuning to the channel represented by the first digit input (for example 5 of 532) without waiting to receive all the digits. It then tunes separately to channel 32 or sometimes to channel 3 then finally to channel 2.
This only occurs with the mobile client...Both my Mac & PC Slingplayer clients and the real TV remote clearly show all three digits collected, then a change to the proper channel.
Anyone else see this problem with Windows Mobile 1.6 Slingplayer?
