Just remember when the update bar gets to the end. It may sit there for as long as 10 minutes before the box restarts. I think mine took about 6 minutes this time to restart on it's own.

Just let the install do its thing. This version loads perfect.

- Blackberry 8830
- Sling Pro

I didn't know anything about picture quality issues until i came here, so i don't think i was biased, but i did notice a drop in picture quality. Compression was more visible, lower framerate at times, even at 2Mbps+ bitrate, on a 26 inches asus monitor.

Is there a way to roll back ? I mean, can anyone post the previous firmware somewhere ? I wish i'd kept it. I'll do that from now on.

Changes in 1.3.80 for Slingbox, directly from support:

Can anyone please upload the previous fw i think is the 1.2.100

Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I upgraded the firmware hoping that they fixed/improved clearQAM tuning. They did not.

I think the SD content looks worse than the previous version, but the HD content looks fine to me, at least connected locally. I will check out the remote viewing tomorrow.

I'm really glad i'm so messy ! I found old installers floating all around my hard drives ! You can extract the firmware files without actually installing the older player version using 7-zip > right click > open archive and then navigate to the firmware folder. (usually disk one > slingplayer > firmware)
I've put together all the firmware versions i could find for all the different slingbox models, v1.2.100 for the pro HD is among them. Can you please confirm that this is the previous version ?

Enjoy, but please use at your own risk ! I shouldn't be held responsible for any Slingbox catching on fire, defenestration whatsoever...
Sort by name for easier browsing.

I'll try to roll back mine.

Best

Forgot about the hex edit trick...
You have to hex edit the file to trick the player into thinking it's a newer version or it won't upgrade. Still, Slingplayer v2.0 will see through it, so you need to use v1.5...
It's doable, but not too straightforward. My pro-HD rolled back OK. I'll keep that firmware until one comes out that everyone is happy with.

I was told that the changelog was on the website page where you can download updatesm but I never saw them. If you see my post earlier, you will see that I did post the channge log I got from support:
