Sling Media's been changing things up on their website, which now includes the online player from Sling.com so you can watch your Slingbox AND and the finished version of an online tool to setup your Slingbox. I'm curious if any of you have tried it out and what your experiences was.

Comments about the online setup tool? Post them below.

Found 2 major problems :

1. If the Device is turned off or on Standby the 'Next' button is disabled so unlike within Slingplayer Setup Assistant you cannot continue with the Setup.

2. You can only configure supported devices. There is no option to select 'Other' and a Custom Code.

Pretty sad when less than a third of people could set up there product. Even worse when almost as many could not get it to work.

This poll is only representative of those who tried the online setup tool, not those who choose to use the Setup Assistant within SlingPlayer itself (which would be the majority right now I'd guess).
