SlingPlayer-2.0.3508-Setup-US

It's saved in my Windows vista download folders.

I have 2 PCs and a Mac, it's not the wrong country files I've downloaded.

It's not the software dude, it's the hardware/firmware. It says the BOX is not made to be used in the USA. It doesn't say "You've downloaded the wrong country's software, or the software is incompatible"

Unless you brick your box the way some of ours have, you can't really recreate this as far as I know.





The "This box not made for the USA error"





This is what you end up with even after putting in your zip code and selecting your cable provider. It SHOULD say something like Tivo or Comcast next to the highlighted box, not "unconfigured." However you can't select any specific boxes because of the USA error.

I have the same hardware version 1.34.1 ran the setup as uk player and no isuues I will try resetting it

can you post screens of the properties

and this shot too

There are tons of logs here

C:\ProgramData\Sling Media\SlingPlayer\2.0

The IR blaster version of 10 seems odd to me but maybe someone can figure this out.

BTW how do you like your hava?

Here is a firmware rollback procedure

http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/29762/POSSIBLE-SOLUTION-FOR-REDUCE...

you have to install the OLD firmware. But before you do you need to make it look like its the newer firmware, but changing its version using the hex editor.
the instruction are in the post above.

timrw said: a) I didn't keep any earlier versions of the slingbox software. b) Screw slingbox. It's time to start dissing this piece of crap. Any company that would screw their customers deserves to be screwed too. c) I don't have the time or patience to bother with this. My Slingbox used to work, since they published a firmware upgrade it works no more. Screw them. d) Long live HAVA. As soon as I get one I'll throw my slingbox in the garbage and forget Slingbox ever existed. Until then I'll live with one channel. e) To the poster: Thanks for trying to solve the problem - I for one have no interest in HEX and computing for that matter - too bad the Sling team didn't work as hard as you did to find the solution. To all you SLingbox buyers out there... buy something else.

I just wanted to post an update.

When I initially installed the new software/firmware I was greeted with the "wrong country" error. I then uninstalled the software the delete all settings option checked and created a new sling account. This time when I installed the software I was able to select my DVR/Service but the remote tests failed and the remote was grayed out when I completed setup.

So today I tried again and got it to work. I'm not sure if I needed to reposition the IR sensors or reseat the IR cable on the slingbox, but once I got the remote tests in setup working the remote appeared when I completed the setup.

Is it standard for the remote to be grayed out if the Ir transmitters aren't plugged in? Thanks to everyone who tried to help, maybe this was operator error and not a conspiracy by Sling?

I have deleted my accounts, created new ones (I now have a sling account for 3 different emails lol) and put it on PCs where there was no sling before. Nothing is working, I am always told wrong country . . .

I will try and fiddle with the IR sensors, but so far I always get the country error. As my sling worked perfectly right before the firmware update, I don't see how it could have much to to with the IR sensors though.

Post Note: I unplugged the IR and every other thing from the slingbox and plugged it back in, still a no go, thinks my Sling is made for some country not found on earth lol
