thecodeman Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 You're not using that HTC as your primary controller on 1.7.2 anyway...are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcarlasc1 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 How about a Media Controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS2 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Updated the wiki site to specify an HC200, HC300 or HC500 as the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcarlasc1 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Does that mean is does not work at all with MC or just that the 300+ is the supported controllers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Well, it works with the HD versions of Slingbox, and the MC and HTC do not put out a HD signal at all.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcarlasc1 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 True... but you can use non HD Devices on the the Sling Box Pro-HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Help!I don't get Control4 as an option in the drop down menu on the slingbox. I'm using a slingbox pro.Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Still no thoughts anyone? Is it because I'm using a UK slingbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsmolo Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 are you following all steps from #3 instructions?you will not find contro4 under device, select "other controllable devices"http://wiki.cytexone.com/display/pubdocs/STEP+3+-+SlingBox+Software+Programming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I setup a Slingbox at my house last night. The screencaps that CytexOne has of the setup aren't accurate anymore, it has all changed....but is very self explanatory.When I got to device setup Control4 was not listed as a manufacturer in the drop down list, but a quick search for "Control4" got it setup and running quickly.

neil12011 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 how is it working for you so far, would you recommend it to others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I would recommend it so far, but I haven't had too much time to play with it.I was just watching TV from my office, and checking on some things. I am going to go in and create some custom buttons/pages for the Slingbox Room, and also program the colored/watch/listen buttons. Once I get that done I think it will be really slick.I am going to set it up so that if I press the red button it shoots me a text message and lets me know what video sources are in use. That way I don't accidentally hi-jack whatever my family is doing. I'm still thinking through the best way to do that, but I will detail it on the blog when I get it done.

CFUG Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 ^I just play an announcement if there is a second/third user on the same source. I also text but that only comes into play if I'm on the road accessing remotely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I've had the HD for over one year now and don't use it. Besides, Dish now includes it in their hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I don't have Dish Network, so that doesn't do anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 It's only a matter of time before Sling technology hits other devices. The issue here is really you don't need this thing for around the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgbrown Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 ^ I'd tend to agree with this. They're going to be an IP licensing firm. They have no interest in end user customers. They've actually just pulled their Sling catcher product recently which was targeted at in home distribution.And their customer service s*cks, and there's no hope on the horizon for that to change. It's been broken sense Dish took them over.This said, I have a Sling Pro I'm considering putting up for sale as I don't really use it enough.

ILoveC4 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Like I said, I got it in place of a TV for my office, being I have way more than enough monitor space.Maybe it's just because it's new, but I really like it. I'm actually watching Quantom of Solace via Slingbox (EVA9150 at home) here at my office...LOVE IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgbrown Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 ^ No doubt. The wow factor is very high ! I used mine to watch the Masters in my office in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NkySpike65 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Besides, Dish now includes it in their hardware.I called Dish ( I have had them for two years now ) about the new ViP 922 SlingLoaded DVR to see about an upgrade on our VIP 722 DVR... Was told it would be a $200 deposit and $15 a month for DVR usage.The $200 deposit, I ask the person on the phone do I get that back when I return the ViP 922? I was told "NO". I then asked, " So why do they call it a deposit for if you don't get it back? " She told me I was right, she doesn't know why they call it a deposit for either? If you don't believe me give them a call...So, if I'm going to shell out $200 plus $15 a month, I might as well go buy one Sling Box HD for $300...

ILoveC4 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Or a Sling Solo for $189...that's what I bought. I only need one source (my matrix switch) so it works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharmdsmith Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I've got to get me another balun. I've been wanting to hook it up for awhile but my matrix is cat5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I've got to get me another balun. I've been wanting to hook it up for awhile but my matrix is cat5.I'd certainly recommend it...as was mentioned earlier the WOW factor is cool. I should be a salesman for them...about 15 people at my office want one after watching me mess with it today. If only they knew what the total ticket would be...

CFUG Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hmmm, new software version avail. 1.4.60. ^What do you mean total ticket? is $200 too rich for your "guys at work"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of space in (make that on since they discontinued the uber-expensive rack mount version) rack considering the future of place-shifting.
