I have the lastest version of firefox and an account on sling.com. I used to be able to watch my sling via firefox, but now my firefox keeps telling me that it prevented the site from asking me to install a plugin (i.e. the webslingplayer 1.2.0.60). I allow this and the plugin install, after which it requires a restart of firefox. But the same happens. Again firefox informs me that the site wants to install a plugin, even though it has already been installed. What's going on?

The change is to fool the sling plug-in to think you are running 10.5 works great!

While I find the judges rediculous and the host incredibly repetitive and irritating ("Make that noise for" etc.), I have enjoyed this far more than most other reality shows since it's more than "just dancing" or "just singing." The variety has kept it entertaining, and though I'm not sure you can judge a magic act against cloggers, it is intersting to see who "America" thinks is the most talentd. IMO, they've been wrong on many accounts. Is any Slingers out there watching this year's AGT? What do you think of the finalists chosen last night?

Any idea when sling .com will support Macs??? When it does won't i be able to access the sling.com web site, control my dvr, ans using the safari web browser on my iphone be able to watch "live, slung" TV over 3G via the web site??? That way I will not have to be limited to using the sling mobile software using wi-fi only which is a useless way of doing it. If I want to watch lve tv using wifi only i might as well use my laptop. The goal is to be able o watch "live" tv such as sports etc when I am in a car, at my kids ballgame etc. For this I need 3G sling...NOT wif. Right now it is a joke considering all the anticipation and now we have a "crippled" app. AT&T, sling and Apple really screwed this up. If not able to use sling.com, I will have no choice but to jailbreak my iphone. it is especially gaulling that ALL OTHER smartphones can view over 3G.

Pretty funny... Stephen Colbert is still clinging to hope that NASA will name a new room at the international space station after him. The space agency said Friday it would announce the name of the module Tuesday on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report." Astronaut Sunita Williams will appear on the program. The agency held an online contest, letting the public vote on a name for a future addition to the station. "Colbert" beat out NASA's four suggested options: Serenity, Legacy, Earthrise and Venture. The comedian said in a statement: "I certainly hope NASA does the right thing. Just kidding. I hope they name it after me."

Foster City, Calif., April 8, 2009 — Sling Media, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ: SATS), is delivering the Masters Golf Tournament live April 9-12 on Sling.com, a free video entertainment website. The Masters Tournament kicks off Thursday morning, and Sling.com will be livestreaming (and live-Tweeting) all four rounds. Tune in for all-day coverage on three simultaneous video streams, each from a different angle.

If there was ever a justification needed for the legalization of marijuana, the Battlestar Galactica 2-hour final episode was it. In order to keep from ripping one's eyes out, you had to be medicated or enjoying the marvels of modern chemistry. What were the writers smoking when they came up with the idea of stacking flashback, after flashback, after flashback, after flashback, after flashback, after flashback, after frakking flashback?

I'm a movie freek. I watch TV for one reason, to watch movies. I pay for all the premium movie channels, I can get and I still buy PPVs. I have a very simple movie rating. I like action, violance and sex. I want them to all, to be in the same movie. Here is the challange. If you had to pick 1 movie, you liked best over the years, what would it be? I'll go first. My pick is; Braveheart - 1995 staring Mel Gibson as William Wallace. I can watch that movie, over & over and I enjoy it every time. Ok, who's next?

However, Slingbox owners who can't get in front of a TV can still catch the game on the run. I'm curious who out there happened to do just that. Side Topic: What did you think of Super Bowl XLIII?

While not entirely Sling related, this topic does affect several Slingbox users, as well as anyone who relies on over the air broadcasting for television. Part of me is curious just to see how many antenna users there are here in the community. :-) Why do you think the digital switch should or shouldn't be delayed? Post your comments below. Side topic: If you have a Slingbox with a built in tuner, and rely on over the air broadcasting, how do you plan to transition your Slingbox to digital? Have you already tried? What converter box are you using? If you're a Slingbox Tuner owner, are you planning on replacing your Slingbox?

We'll be here a few years and we're adjusting to the newness of everything, but I'm having trouble figuring out how I'm going to be able to watch American Idol over here. It's the only TV show I watch and it's probably the only TV show that doesn't come out with DVDs after the season is over. Frustrating! Here are the problems I am encountering: 1. Neither my husband or I have any kind of usable knowledge in technology. 2. Our home in the U.S. is currently occupied by my husband's brother and his family, and I think that Slingbox has to be routed through there. 3. We are several hours ahead of the U.S. so I would need to figure out some way of recording American Idol rather than watching it live at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. I know there are people out there who know pretty much everything about rigging all this up, so any kind of help you can give me would be very much appreciated!!! Thank you!!!
