Looks good so far. The one problem I saw was relating to the EPG. The window is not wide enough. Here in Cinci, Time Warner has really long labels for each feed. The dropdown list...

kingweb said: I haven't tried VNC, but I have tried remote desktop. The problem is that it doesn't show the video well. Sling converts the video into a reasonable bandwidth that can be viewed. Remote...

Wouldn't it be easier to use VNC in that case?

Reply to Copy the Slingbox Directory? on August 1, 2008

I had done that over a year ago. It worked for me then. I just copied the whole directory to a flash thumb drive and was able to run it off of there. Update: I...

Reply to Digital over the air TV stations on August 1, 2008

I believe that they both have NTSC tuners. They will not be able to tune the OTA DTV which require ATSC tuners. The Pro, though, should be able to connect to one of those converter...

Reply to no PC on August 1, 2008

When the slingbox is moved to a new network, it will need to be re-configured. You would need a computer on the local network for that.

Reply to Specification on July 25, 2008

Currently you need a PC/laptop/mac to configure the slingbox. The rest of the requirements are for the SlingPlayer software to view what you're streaming from your slingbox. Your tv at home doesn't need to be...

Reply to Fried Slingbox Tuner??? on July 21, 2008

I'm glad you got it resolved. I should have suggested contacting Sling Media Support sooner. I've been enjoying slinging for years and am a big fan. I'm eagerly awaiting the SlingCatcher and the Slingbox Pro...

Reply to Fried Slingbox Tuner??? on July 21, 2008

Sorry I haven't had the time to reply, but were you on your local network when you ran it? and was your connection wired or wireless?

Reply to DViCO TViX HD M-4100SH Remote bin on July 17, 2008

I have a side question for you I looked at the DViCO TViX but the one thing that I found to be missing was an NTSC + clear QAM tuner. They offered only an ATSC...

Reply to Fried Slingbox Tuner??? on July 15, 2008

Have you run the setup wizard for the slingbox again? if you used PnP, and changed your network (especially your router) you need to run it again.

Reply to Some questions on July 9, 2008

I presume that you mean that you're using over the air broadcasts from your local tv stations. In that case, a Sling tuner would be useless in Feb 2009 (see http://www.dtv.gov/ ). I believe that...

Reply to Some questions on July 9, 2008

- Based off of those two things, which one is the best for me..tuner probably? That will work until your cable company decides to turn off analog broadcasts. Once you move (or are made to...

Reply to Help with Slingbox and router on July 9, 2008

It is probably your network configuration. If the Airport Express is configured as a router and to hand out DHCP NAT addresses (most probably the default) and you're connecting wirelessly to the Airport Express, you're...

Reply to Ethernet cable length on July 8, 2008

maybe One thing for sure.... CNET will give them hell if they show up to CES2009 without having released either the Slingcatcher AND Slingplayer 2.0 TGC P.S. In fact... Slingmedia SHOULDN"T even show up to...

Reply to Using my PC's LAN connection for my Slingbox??? on June 2, 2008

I presume you're using a crossover cable for that? I have seen people assume that a straight through cable would work, but it won't if you're connecting two end devices (unless the NICs in one...

I hope that the reason for the delay is because the slingcatcher has been converted into this: http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/dish-networks-forthcoming-dvrs-get-detai...
