But if you missed it.
Below is an overview of the known issues with the SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 PUBLIC BETA. Please read carefully before upgrading.
SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 PUBLIC BETA may not work with some proxy servers
If you need to enter proxy server settings manually, SlingPlayer may not be able to connect to a Slingbox outside of your local network.
Back up your Favorites before installing
SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 PUBLIC BETA has a completely new Favorites feature within the SlingPlayer Guide. If you need to go back to SlingPlayer for Windows 1.5 for any reason, your upgraded favorites list will be lost. We strongly recommend backing up your Favorites by exporting a copy prior to upgrading to SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 PUBLIC BETA. Here's how.
Slingbox directory no longer syncs with SlingPlayer Mobile via ActiveSync
If you installed SlingPlayer Mobile on a Windows Mobile Pocket PC or Windows Mobile Smartphone using the desktop installer, your Slingbox directory contents will no longer sync to your phone once you have install SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 PUBLIC BETA.
We are aware of the problem and are working to get it resolved as quickly as possible.
Your Feedback matters!

The proxy server issue is understated. SlingPlayer 2.0 won't even open/execute through a proxy server. For whatever reason Sling has chosen to make this Beta app phone home so to speak and its just plain broken if you are using a proxy...
Atten FAA employees:
Using OpenVPN is possible through the government proxy server via TCP port 443 using either amcproxy.faa.gov:8080 or actproxy.faa.gov:8080
I love the answer to the question: "Where did my control buttons in my Favorites go?"
I quote:
"The control buttons have been replaced and improved upon by the set of new features: the SlingPlayer Guide and Live Video Buffer."
When what they really mean is:
"The option to use the control buttons has been removed".
First time I have seen an 'upgrade' to a program remove what was a very useful feature.

Slinging with a SlingCatcher, a ProHD, a Pro, a Solo, an AV, and a Slingbox Classic. 3 Replay TV units, a Roku Photobridge and a Roku M2000 Soundbridge, an AppleTV, a Vudu, and digital cable. www.na9d.net
I tried it with "Your Freedom", and it works perfect. The only problem is that it "forgets" the settings if you return back to "direct connect"

Greensboro, NC, United StatesRegarding the new "Favorites": As far as I can tell, the new Favorites does not allow the assignment of a channel that does not appear in the Program Guide. I have security cameras that I modulate onto blank channel space on my cable distribution and I could assign a Favorites button to each channel in SlingPlayer 1. Please bring back the "buttons", at least as an option to the Guide.
