Slingbox PRO HD

Was just wondering why the slingbox pro hd was rasied 30 dollars and has become more expensive at best buy then it is from the slingbox website itself which stayed at the original price.

Or, you know.. you could just buy it somewhere else if you want. Congratulations on the crafty joke that's definitely never been made here before

Is it possible to play slingbox pro HD on Apple TV2

I have Slingbox pro HD. I do not need to use Apple TV as source for content. Opposite, I need to play back stream produced by slingbox over local intranet (wired network connection) on Apple TV connected to my TV set in diferent room. Is it possible. I see conflicting answers and not sure if it correct. I also have PC on the same network, no MAC. If it is not possible will I be able to use IPAD with slingbox player to tream output to Apple TV wilrelesly?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No slingbox won't work through the Apple TV. If there is a slingbox app for the iPad AND the app has been enabled for video AirPlay then yes you can stream to the Apple TV, if not then it won't stream.

Slingbox Pro and Airport Extreme Extended Network

I have set up two new airport extremes, one as a base station one as a network extension. I have been using a Slingbox Pro with my old sky wireless connection with no problems, but after setting up my new 25gb cable connection I cannot get the Slinbox set up. As the cable feed is in another room to my TV, I set the second airport to extend the network and plugged the airport pro into the back of it, but when I run the Slingbox setup assistant it can not locate the Slingbox. Having looked in both the Apple and Slingbox forums it appears I need to port forward, but the instruction I’ve found online all relate to the old airport software, and I cant work out how to do it with the new airport software.
If anyone has any advise, or even an idiot proof walkthrough, that would be great.

...plugged the airport pro into the back of it...
What do you mean by "airport pro"?
If the 2nd AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is configured to use WDS or 802.11n's "extend a wireless network" no port forwarding is required on that AEBS.

Slingbox Pro can't get a DHCP address from my WRT310N router

Reset my Slingbox and on my router Dhcp table I see a dhcp address for 58 seconds but the slingbox network light keeps flashing. Then the address disappears and the slingbox network light continues to flash. Have tried changing the router, same issue.

You can try this link and follow the steps, i think it will help you in fixing your problem.
If possible connect a different Cat5 Cable from your Router to the Slingbox.

Slingbox Pro Audio not working?

Only thing different is that I have a new TV? Anybody have any troubleshooting for slingbox?

Then you will have to stick the earphone jack in and out a few times to see if you can trip it. If no success, try a cocktail stirrer or the like and jiggle it inside. If still no success, the Apple store genius bar should be able to solve the problem.
Ciao.

Does anyone know how to get the airport extreme to recognize my Slingbox PRO HD?

When I run the utility for the SlingPlayer it cannot find the slingbox.
I imagine it has to do with the 10.0.Xx.XX IP address the airport creates so it cannot find the slingbox.
Any help with this?

Nevermind. I fiddles and figure it out myself.
If anyone has a slingbox turn off you norton or other security software to set things up and then turn it back on.
Slingbox is an awesome product!

If you have a Slingbox and an Xbox 360, this will solve 360 connection prob

I got my TC on Wednesday of this week and starting hooking everything up. I had a PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, Printer, and Slingbox Pro that I wanted to hook up. Slingbox, PS3, Wii, and Printer all work fine, but the Xbox would not cooperate as many of you have found out. So, I took my old linksys router that I was not going to use anymore, turned off its wireless functionality, so it simply acted like a signal pass through with multiple ethernet outputs. I unhooked the Slingbox from the part I speak of below, and attempted to use the linksys to split an incoming signal to the Slingbox and the Xbox 360, which ended up working like a charm.
When I bought my Slingbox, I knew it was not going to be able to be close to my router, so I purchased one of their additional products (links below to products) call the Sling Link Turbo. Most of you are probably aware of this but for those of you that are not, it is a neat device that sends your internet signal through the electrical wiring in your house to a different location where it is plugged in another wall outlet. The catch is that both plugs have to be directly into a wall, it cannot go into a power strip or surge protector. I had this product by default on Wednesday and it helped me fix the problem, so it might benefit those of you that are interested to pick one up, the single port is not that expensive.

http://www.slingmedia.com/go/slt4
Moving on now, I connected the Slink Link Turbo to the back of the TC and plugged it in. Then I plugged its counterpart into the wall behind my TV so it could sit next to the Slingbox on top. I then ran an ethernet cord from the Sling Link Turbo to the WAN port on the Linksys router behind the TV. Then I ran an ethernet cord from the output ports on the linksys to the Xbox 360 and another cord to the Slingbox.
This is where things got tricky because I had to forward the ports in order for the slingbox to work. I set the TC to reserve the IP 192.168.0.200 for the Linksys router. I set my linksys router to be have a static IP at 192.168.1.200 (not a typo) and I set the DNS Server to 192.168.0.1, which is the TC's router IP. Then I set the port forwarding on the TC to open port 5001 to 192.168.0.200 on all ports, Public and Private UDP and TCP. Then I set the Linksys router to open port 5001 to IP 192.168.1.253, which is the Slingbox.
Do not set any static IP for the Xbox 360, it works great without it and if you set it it probably is not going to work.
Now, hold down the reset button on the Slingbox for 20+ seconds to reset it completely, run through setup, takes about 3-5 minutes, and make the IP address 192.168.1.253 and leave the other settings as is. If it will not work, change the router to either IP 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, whichever one it did not show up as wanting to be. Then make sure the port is 5001 and you should be good to go on the Slingbox even remote viewing. If you have problems here, pop me an e-mail.
Now for the Xbox 360, plug it in, turn it on, test connection settings, it should work perfectly on all accounts, mine has so far.
I now have a PS3, Wii, Printer, Xbox 360, and Slingbox Pro running on the N connection, I did not have to downgrade the settings to b/g for the Xbox 360 to work. However, my linksys router is old and only supports G, so I'm not sure if my N signal translates through to the Slingbox and Xbox, but they still work great. And the rest of my house can use the N signal with no problem.
If you have any problems please e-mail me and I will try to help as much as I can.
Good luck.

I have a question which I'm hoping you can answer. My dad lives in the states and has a slingbox connected. I live in another country and watch american tv through internet (i.e. through the slingbox he set up). I also have an xbox 360, which is connected to the TV in the living room. Do you know if it's possible to wirelessly stream the computer content (i.e. the slingbox content) to the tv in the living room through the xbox?
Thanks

Slingbox working with Airport Express but now Back To My Mac broken

I had Back To My Mac working a couple of months ago. I have a Mac Mini connected to a Time Capsule on my Roadrunner cable modem network, and I had a Slingbox Pro (SBP) connected to my DSL Airport Extreme(n) network. I carry a MacBook Air with me on trips.
I wanted to move the DSL Airport Extreme to another room and needed an ethernet connection for the Slingbox, so I bought the Airport Express, plugged it in, and configured it to extend the Roadrunner network. I plugged the SBP into the Airport Express and configured the AE for port forwarding. So my two networks look like this:
Roadrunner ---> Time Capsule ---> Mini (via ethernet), and
Roadrunner ---> Time Capsule ---> Airport Express(n) (wirelessly) ---> SBP (ethernet)
DSL ----> Airport Extreme ----> wireless network 2
Now when the MBA is configured on the Roadrunner wireless network I can see and access the Mini. When I change networks, either using my own DSL network or out of town on a hotel network, the computers cannot see each other and BTMM will not work. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can configure either computer or the network components to get this working again? Thanks. I will also post this in the .Mac forum.

The Slingbox Pro connection works because Slingbox has its own system for keeping track of the WAN IP address of the Time Capsule.
Unless your Time Capsule has an assigned static WAN IP address, you need to set up your own system to do this for the purpose of file sharing from the MBA to the Mac mini from the DSL network or from the Internet. You can use a DNS hosting service such as DynDNS for this purpose. See: http://www.dyndns.com/
You can set up a free account with DynDNS and install client software on your Mac mini that notifies the DynDNS server whenever the WAN IP address on your Time Capsule changes. You assign a static LAN IP address to the Mac mini and forward UDP and TCP port 548 from the Time Capsule to the LAN IP address of the Mac mini.
When you want to file share to the Mac mini, you can use the Connect to Server... function in the Finder using this address (as an example):
afp://xxx.dyndns.info
The DynDNS server converts the "xxx.dyndns.info" placeholder to the current WAN IP address of your Time Capsule, and you end up connecting to the Mac mini—either from the other network or from the Internet.
You also may be able to use the Back to My Mac function with a .Mac account, but I am unfamiliar with it and have never tried to use it.

Slingbox viewing on my tv

I have 3 iPod's and 2 iPads, and purchased nearly a thousand dollars via iTunes. (Apple has tons of my money) I also bought Slingbox pro so I could watch my tv from any of them. I was told I could also hook them up to a tv and watch my tv from anywhere on a big screen. I bought the Slingbox apps on my iPod Touch and my iPod touch, and went to the Apple store and was told I need the "Apple TV out composite cable (another 30 bucks), so I buy this cable and everything works great for a couple months. I know sign on to my Slingbox app, and it still works great, but when I now hook up my Apple tv cable to a TV all I get is sound on the TV and the tiny picture on my iPod,, NO MORE VIDEO OUT TO MY TV!!!!!!!! So what changed???? Apple take away more functionality in one of my last updates????? I hooked up my trusty Android phone (which also has Slingbox app) to my TV and it works great!!! The problem is I use my phone for a phone,, I expect the thousands of dollars in equipment I purchased from Apple to fulfill these simple tasks (I consider viewing anything Apple lets me view on my tiny iPod screen to be viewable on a larger screen via the EXPENSIVE TV out cable they sold me) So what is wrong or changed? Am I having an Apple garage sale? And switching to all Androids ? And tablets?

Try just resetting the iPod:

If that doesn't help, try removing the Slingbox app and reinstalling, and if that still doesn't work try a restore of the iPod:

Slingbox not seen by my Airport Extreme

I have a SlingBox Pro which was working perfectly with my old Linksys wireless router. When I replaced the Linksys with an Airport Extreme everything worked great except the Slingbox never gets connected to the network.
I've tried the following:
- Resetting the Slingbox endlessly
- Switching the Extreme to server different addresses - it's currently handing out 192.168.2... addresses
- Reserving an address for the MAC id of the Slingbox
All through this the network led on the Slingbox keeps flashing indicating that it is not connected to the network.
Any thoughts?

It turns out the problem was with the Slingbox itself. I have had it replaced and the new one connected to my network in about 5 seconds. After that everything worked without at problem.
Credit to SlingMedia - they turned around the replacement quickly and easily.

Slingbox, Time Capsule and Verizon router setup

So here is my setup:
Verizon router with wireless ON. Time capsule set to share an IP address(not in Bridge mode). This gives me the double NAT error message.
Sling catcher hooked into the Time capsule on one end and to the Slingbox on the other.
So, I hooked the slingbox up to the verizon router, configured it. Then hooked the sling catcher to the TM and ran setup again. Set up port forwarding per the instructions. Things seem to work fine, although under the slingbox directory it says that I am not set up for internet viewing.
However, i CAN connect via wifi and over 3g on my iphone fine. With WIFI, I am using my Time capule for wireless not the verizon wifi. The last time I tried to turn off the verizon wifi i don't think the slingbox worked. The last time I tried to set up the time capule under bridge mode the slingbox did not work. If I am in bridge mode there is no option to setup port forwarding.
So I know that my setup is not correct but it is working. The problem is the speeds. I have a slingbox pro- getting about 1200-1400 kbs over the internet, and about 500-550 over wifi on the iphone. I'm getting about 450-550 over 3g on the iphone. This seems too slow.
Any suggestions?

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
Very important......
Power off both the Verizon modem/router and the Time Capsule
Wait a minute or two
Start up the Verizon modem/router first and allow it to run a full minute
Then start up the Time Capsule

Apple tv+slingbox=no remote control? :-(

hi everyone,
ihave connected my apple tv to my slingbox pro over HD-Connector (Composite cable).
when i run the setup assistent i can see the apple tv but i can't get the remote-cable of the slingbox work together with the apple tv!
the setup-assistent uses "Code 1" to test the IR connection. the apple tv light in front of the apple tv flashes when the IR connection ist tested but nothing happens.....
what can i do? this is useless if i cannot control the apple tv!

If the cables are connected correctly and you have the proper Apple remote code selected in the Slingbox settings it should work, but I agree with Chenks, this is a question you should be asking in the Slingbox forums at http://www.slingcommunity.com.

Can you help with a TV / Mac mini configuration?

So.... the plan is to buy a new 32-40 inch TV for the bedroom upstairs. All of my TV cables and Internet stuff are at the basement. I am not planning to bring any cables upstairs (TV or Ethernet) so this is what I am thinking:
- HDTV 32-40 inch
- Powerline to bring network connectivity upstairs
- Slingbox PRO-HD
- Mac mini to use SlingPlayer, Hulu, iTunes, DVD Player etc. etc.
- One of those Air Mice
These are the questions I have:
1) The HDMI on the new Mac mini transfers sound as well as video. Correct? No need for extra adaptor?
2) Can some suggest a good Air Mouse that works well with the new Mac mini?
3) Anything I need to make sure the TV is capable in order to work well with the Mac mini (except of course for the HDMI port)? Resolution? Other ports? Options?
4) Anyone with a similar configuration? Any issues that you might see with this configuration?
Thanks

I cannot answer any of your other questions, but, yes, the Mid 2010 Mac mini carries both a digital audio and video signal from the HDMI port.
Sorry, what is an air mouse?

Airport Express Port Mapping

I have an Airport Extreme as my main router base station. I recently bought an Airport Express in an effort to connect a Slingbox Pro to it. My Slingbox works ok with my laptops connected to my network but it won't work when trying to setup internet viewing. According to the Slingbox tech, is due to Airport Express not having Port Mapping. Is this true? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello DAVE72. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
According to the Slingbox tech, is due to Airport Express not having Port Mapping. Is this true?
Not true! The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) supports port mapping. If you are using the AX to provide Internet access from your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) to the Slingbox, only the AEBS would need to be configured for port mapping.

Cannot mount a .dmg file

I just received a Slingbox Pro for the holidays. I downloaded their software, which is in the form of a dmg file. After the download it would not mount. The people at SlingBox are clueless. I'm waiting for a Mac specialist to call me back.
Any idea why it is not mounting? Just as a test I downloaded iTunes because it too is a dmg file and it mounted. They think it is some setting regarding a firewall or the like. Help...
Scott

That means that perhaps the file you downloaded got a little messed up on its way to your computer, or perhaps the checksum information wasnt included in the original file. Disk images have checksums to ensure the integrity of the disk image is ok. It works by summing up the number of bits and bytes in the image/file according to a summation algorithm that will give you a specific "checksum" number. The file should contain the checksum number (created and embedded in the file when the original disk image was created) that your computer compares to it's checksum number that it gets when it runs the same algorithm upon mounting the disk image. If the image is intact, then the checksums will match, but if the original checksum is missing or they dont match, then the disk will be avoided for fear of corrupt data, etc.
I'd recommend re-downloading the file, but if you want to try one more thing with this one, open "Disk Utility" and in the preferences uncheck the "Verify checksum" option. Then go to the file menu and select the option to open a disk image and hope it mounts without checksum verification. If it's just a checksum error where the checksum number is missing, then the contents should be fine and you should be able to install the program, but if there's a problem with the disk image then its likely the installer files will be corrupted and you will get errors. Its worth a shot...
