I can get both receivers on my laptop but only one on my slingcatcher. On my slingcatcher I can see the names of both receivers in my connect menu, but each name brings in the same box. I recently changed receivers and had help from slingbox support to do so, when doing this I did it on my laptop, I could not see my slingcatcher as it was in another location. When setting up my replaced receiver, I used the same email address for both receivers and the same password for both.

I did that and they said, even though the warranty has ended 3-4 months ago they will send me a replacement unit for free.

Both receive the SlingBox Solo feed just fine. Both USED TO receive the SlingProjector feed just fine until recently. Now, no matter what I do, I can connect to the SlingCatcher in my bedroom, but I can not connect to the SlingCatcher in my living room. The exact message I get when I try to connect is "Disconnected. Connection blocked by SlingCatcher. Click Connect to start SlingProjector. Click Exit to quit." This error message doesn't seem to appear anywhere on the web. Both SlingCatchers are setup exactly the same way. In fact, the odd thing is that my Living Room SlingCatcher is connected directly to the router (DIR-655), while the Bedroom SlingCatcher is connected to a DAP-1522 (Wireless N Bridge) that is connected to the router wirelessly. As I said, the Living Room SlingCatcher can connect to the SlingBox fine, so the network is functioning properly. Any ideas or suggestions?

I live in the UK. Anything I should be worried about? I'm most concerned about the power supply/plug (does the SB use a separate 'kettle lead' which could be replaced with a UK-spec one; and is it switchable between 110 and 240V (US and UK spec)? I've also read something about 50Hz v 60Hz - not sure what this means... ! Also, is NTSC v PAL an issue at all? The SB will be used with a Sky+ HD box and a Panasonic Viera LCD. I'm looking to get a SC further down the line too. Thanks in advance - any help much appreciated. 916ian Slingbox PRO-HD Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:20:21 GMT 916ian http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/39409/Newbie-advice-please/#discussion?src=forumtopic_rss http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/39406/Manually-Add-Remove-Channels/?src=forumtopic_rss Hi All, Let me start off by saying that I bought the Pro-HD for its built in tuner, not for its HDness. I was curious one day and rescanned for available channels to see if I could get the free HD channels that are offered as part of the DTV transition. In addition to the 70 stations I was already receiving, I now have 400 more stations! Ordinarily more is better, not in this case. Only 7 of those new stations are actually useful (I don't even watch them) and the rest just seem to get in the way. To get from 30 to 31 I need to go through 30.1, 30.2, 30.3 and 30.4, ugh! Is it possible to manually add/remove channels with the Slingbox Pro-HD? OR is there a way to scan for stations and only pickup the non digital ones. I'm willing to give up the HD stations as they don't stream as well as the non-HD stations when bandwidth is low on the receiving end and that is normally the case. Any help is appreciated, Thanks, Jared Slingbox PRO-HD Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:04:37 GMT Jared S http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/39406/Manually-Add-Remove-Channels/#discussion?src=forumtopic_rss http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/39404/Blinking-Power-Light/?src=forumtopic_rss A few days ago my Solo's power light started blinking.

I'd like to watch streams on my Mac, but I understand the Mac Slingplayer doesn't support HD. So I'm stuck with the Sling.com player on Mac. Only problem: I can't figure out how to change the encoding settings like I do in Win Slingplayer on the Sling.com player. Thus the Sling.com player always uses the default settings (which never get above 1.8 Mbps while manually I get 3.5 or so). Any thoughts? Thanks!

During SetUp, I had to load a generic remote, because the one at our house in SF wasn't listed. Do you think this is the problem? Also very hard to page up/page down, etc. Remote sort of sucks. We have Comcast and a General Instruments Box SFT 2 which wasn't listed, so we downloaded a similar one, but it is very generic. Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Sorry if this question might have been asked but i search the forum and coudl nto find anything. Is there a way to access files from the sling when a network attached storage drive(my book) is plugged into the slings usb slot from another computer on the LAN? I want to be able to add files to the network attached storage drive from any of my computers but be able to let the sling keep that hard drive so I can stream all my media from one location.

Since the firmware update the unit is not accessible. I understand that the unit may have lost its username and password information after the firmware update. We do have a VPN set up between the remote site and actual Sling Pro HD site. Is there anything I can do through the VPN to access teh Sling Pro HD so I can check the configuration of the unit. The Sling Pro HD has a static IP address. Please advise.

It happens both remotely and locally, no problem with other video sources. Once blocked only way to fix it is to disconnect power, when remote this is really disappointing since prevent further use for days when travelling.

Setting it up for the first time since i got this from a friend. When trying to view on my pc the tv, only one tv channel shows and when i use the remote it does not change the channel on the pc, but the DVR that controls my tv does change channels when i click the remote channel up and down on the pc. So it appears the remote onscreen works for changing the dvr/tv channel but it doesnt change what channel i am watching on the pc. I have exhausted my options. Any thoughts?
