Thanks for the reply. I reset the box and tried again and no luck, I changed the video to svideo and it didn't make any difference and when i choose the connection type it still says unconfigured beside it, no matter which connection type i choose. however i do get the live video feed in the little box in the upper left, depending on which video i have connected. example: component video hooked up to the box shows the live video feed in the upper box, but the component selection in the lower box still says unconfigured. When i go to the next page there is no selections in the drop down box on the configure video source page. I even uninstalled the sling player program and restarted the computer and reinstalled the program again with a fresh download from sling media. and reset the box and went through a completely new installation and still the very same thing happens.
