Reply to No More Secrets: The Truth on Remote Controls and Slingbox on March 11, 2008

Reply to SlingPlayer 2.0 Video Demonstration - 2008 International CES on February 1, 2008

Maybe it's a stupid question, but how does the 60 minute buffer work if I am streaming my content from a dvr? Do I just put the slingplayer on pause for an hour and let...

Reply to Mac Remote? on October 5, 2007

check out the application "remote buddy"....you can use it to control slingplayer and most major applications by custom mapping your apple remote. 6 buttons were not quite enough to fully control my slingbox from the...

Reply to How would you use a sling catcher? on August 15, 2007

Hey Trashcan - I am more than happy with the quality I get on my 32" TV with a 350 kbps upload. For some reason, it was bumped up to 400 - 500 kbps for...

Reply to How would you use a sling catcher? on August 14, 2007

Reply to SlingPlayer Expired on May 2, 2007

Well in reference to ryandh's comment about satisfied people not posting I just wanted to say that I installed the new version and it is not that bad. My slingplayer stuttered with the beta and...

Reply to SlingPlayer Expired on May 1, 2007

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I no longer have the beta installer so I am going to take a leap of faith and install the new version. If it is as bad as everyone says...

Surely someone has an easy answer for this?

Reply to Download speed variables - Speed Test on January 25, 2007

Thanks, cymro. You have a lot better speeds than I do but it seems like you are confirming what I am experiencing. If you use a speed test from another country (physically in the UK...

Reply to Devices Supported on December 28, 2006

What if I do not find my device on the list? I am thinking about buying a relatively new and relatively "no name" HDD recorder (Coby 1280) to go with my slingbox. Is it safe...

Reply to Best "cheap" solution (w/o tivo, directv, etc.) on December 18, 2006

Thanks a lot for the input. I didn't think of getting a VCR, but only having a few hours of tape time available does not excite me too much. I think I will head over...
