When I first setup with the widows software I downloaded I created a slingbox name with a password. I also had to give an email with another password. I also created another account with another email and password for when I'm at work. Thinking I could let my son watch when he's not home, I created another account for him to use with another email and password and sling ID. (Hope you're still with me.) The problem, I log in to the third account I created for my son to test it out and discovered that I can't actually watch anything through the web "watch.slingbox.com site without the original slingbox password I created when I first setup. So what's the point in creating more than one user account if in the end you still have to give the main sling password AND the sling ID? If this is how it works the security is horrible. In short I want to let my son watch tv when he's not home but I don't trust his notebook as he and...

The final product will hopefully be completely controlled by an MCE remote. Is it possible to completely control slingplayer from there, or will a keyboard or mouse be necessary?

It worked fine, but now when I run it, I get a window that says "Oh no! Your copy of SlingPlayer has Expired! But don't worry, there's a new version available". It takes me to a website that has the same version on it. What's going on?!?

Ideally, I'd hook up the Slingbox to a DVR and watch the DVR using SlingCatcher, but in my case, this is not feasible because DVRs are not available where my Slingbox is located (Hong Kong). I read that some have done this using SlingPlayer for Mac and a screen capture utility, but this only allows recording of a live feed, whereas I'm interested primarily in scheduled recording (e.g. every weekday at 4:30AM). Perhaps this is a niche, but I found quite a few posts (in this forum and others) where people want to do this, dating back to 2007, so I thought I'd shared how I did it. My setup: - SlingCatcher - Mac mini - Elgato EyeTV 250 Plus First, if you aren't familiar with the EyeTV 250 Plus, it is essentially a USB accessory that turns your Mac into a TiVo. One nifty feature of the EyeTV 250 Plus is that it can take S-Video or Composite (red/white/yellow) as input. More information at: http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/250plus/product1.en.html It took a bit of trial-and-error but I hope the steps below will...

One day I opened the player and tried to change the channel as I usually do but nothing happened! At the bottom left corner of the player it said 'Controlling...' and then nothing happens, but continues to stream the same channel. This has been the case since July. The place where the slingbox is located is vacant and no one could have touched the slingbox since I left it in July. To catch the signal from the DVR I use the IR blasters method. Could they be broken or maybe the DVR stopped working? Why did this happen all of a sudden when everything was absolutely fine before? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

But now, I can't return to the video mode. My slingplayer is stuck in the audio mode, even if I can hear in the background my TV and I can tune. And if I go in the menu : > View > Display Mode > Video only mode is not activated. I can't click on it and the shortcut "Alt+;" doesn't work neither... I've tried to disconnect et reconnect. To shut down Slingplayer and lauch it again. No matter what I do, Slingplayer is stuck in the audio only mode... Anynody knows how to fix it?
