I am not particularly pleased with this new version either... I don't know if the problem is with the player or the new firmware it uploaded to my slingbox pro. The HD component input looks real nice, but the coax tuner input now looks like blocky garbage at full screen. It's not pleasant to watch at all now...

I too have had serious issues with the "unsupported signal (like 1080p) is connected" error since I the 1.06 upgrade.

Is there a firmware repository somewhere? I would like my slingbox to function again (it's been working great for years).

I thought I was having a similar problem when remote viewing on my BT Broadband (Option 3: the Jesus-pack) in the UK (Slinging from Utah, USA). Before the firmware update I would stream along at between 500 kbps and 900 kbps. After the update it would go as low as 100 kbps, but usually stabilizes around 250 kbps - 500 kbps. The stream is occasionally choppy and blocky, but I can't remember what the old stream quality was like to make a comparison.

My first thought was to the firmware update. My second thought was that BT was throttling me down during peak times.

But now I've been on a business trip to the States for a few weeks now and have used the Slingplayer at a local community center wireless hotspot with blazing results: sometimes over 1,200 kbps!

I can only assume that distance and internet download quality is what is giving me reduced quality in the UK.
