I have two Tivo DVRs in the same room – a standard Tivo is assigned a Remote Address of “1” and a DirecTV Tivo is assigned a Remote Address of “2” such that the IR signals do not conflict.
The standard Tivo is installed/connected to my Slingbox AV with its Remote Address of “1” having been input during installation and it works fantastic at home and on the road. It is amazing.
My Versions Are (I do not want to update any versions – the system works fantastic now and it is not broken):
. . . Slingplayer . . . . 1.5.0.325
. . . Hardware . . . . . 1.2.1
. . . IR Blaster . . . . . 2
. . . Firmware . . . . . 1.0.17
From time to time I have concluded that I would like to view the DirecTV Tivo on the road. I can use a manual switch box such that I can select between the S-video and audio outputs of the Tivos to go to the Slingbox AV inputs before leaving home. The IR blaster is already located such that it can be “seen” by both Tivos. That leaves only the Remote Address change – HOW!
I need to tell the Sling Player/Slingbox AV to use the Remote Address of “2”. I have looked at SBCore.ini (I edited that “ini” such that the “upgrade to player 2” message no longer appears) but I do not understand the “lingo” as to whether a change is possible there OR in the Sling Player’s properties edit. Is there a simple way to do this like changing something in an “ini” file or doing a configuration edit of some kind without having to redo setup?
Thanks for any assist on this.
