TIVO or Slingbox
I'm wondering whether anyone has had experience setting up their TIVO or working with a slingbox unit which allows remote access to TIVO or cable TV over the internet. If so, I would like to discuss with you. Would you provide me your email and I will take the matter offline.

Hello Brent, You've asked a very excellent question here. I am happy to announce, that we have receivers that have the Sling Box built in to them! You can get more info at: www.dishnetwork.com or you can call us toll free at: 1-800-333-3474. My best regards.

Re: Slingbox for Lisa
Oh, nice, but can that be put on apartment setups where they use some kind of distribution system to put the signal on the coax jack on the wall? That's what they would have here and at the place I'm considering moving to. I wasn't sure if you're stuck with the kind of receiver the manager wants or what, and I suppose they'd be the only ones to be able to watch the slingbox. Is this the case, or would I be able to buy my own receiver and use it?

Slingbox for Lisa channels not changing
Did you connect the IR Blaster cable cord to the back of your Slingbox hardware and the other end of this cable in front of your cable or satellite box. The cable has 2 Infrared red sensors that should be in front of the cable box or satellite box. During the Slingbox hardware setup your husband needs to input the correct cable or satellite box make and model number. During the setup your husband should have tested and passed the remote control questions. One of them was to see if you could change the channel by clicking a button on that setup screen. Did he pass that test? Also, if its a DVR box you need to tell it is one and not just a box. This test ensures when you are using the Sling Player software application will change channels when you press the numbers row on the keyboard. When you press the numbers row on your keyboard like 124 this info acts like a remote control and send out the signal from the Slingbox to the sensors that are located in front of the box you are trying to manipulate. . Not sure if things have changed now. Are you using Sling Player 2.0 software because from what I read you are using the web to access your Slingbox signal and you don't want to do this. You need to install the Sling Player 2.0 software application there. It is built with many keyboard shortcuts. Note: The Sling Player 2.0 software along with JAWS 11 cannot read what appears on your tv screen that sighted users get to see like the menus, tv guide and to set DVR recordings. It's invisible. But you can change channels and hear your tv signal anywhere in the world. If its a DVR your husband can tell you how to get to the DVR recordings area by telling you with Sling Player open and running how many up or down arrows to do and then activate the item to go to the recordings playlist. Not sure if you are interested in this but bringing it up. Will require you to memorize. If you are going to the website version the changing of channels does not work with the numbers row and I think you are doing this from what I read. This tip is not 100 percent fool proof but I did test the Sling website version myself over 2 weeks ago and the keyboard shortcuts didn't work but I tried only a few that I know here. Did you install the active x for the web version? After you are logged in this worked for me. Much of the text on the screen on the web version are links but JAWS does not show them as links. Just press your enter keyboard key on the text and they will act as links. Toggle the remote to be hidden there. Ask your husband if the remote control has disappearred. Then what I did here was a shift+F10 or try your Context menu keyboard key. This should bring a context menu list. In one of the submenus there are options to change the channel up or down one digit. Say you are on channel 8 and if you choose up option you will be on channel 9. Hopefully the manufacturer of your tv cable box satellite box and SlingMedia put some extra effort for your remote to work like it did for me. The remote control both within Sling Player 2 and the web version are invisible. Right now you should install Sling Player 2.0 if it isn't already on your PC. Here is the Sling Player 2 download page for windows PCs. http://support.slingbox.com/go/windows-download-desktop-us This is for users based in the USA. They make Slingboxes for other countries and requires those overseas to use another version of Sling Player 2. You can install Sling Player Mobile software for your phone. Hope this helps.

Re: Slingbox for Lisa
Hello Brent, You can get to the Sling Box via your Dishnetwork online account. But as for the other question, you will need to ask a tech rep at Dishnetwork about that one. But in my opinion, I think it will work. But make sure that the dish itself is a Dishnetwork dish and not a Direct TV dish. Our receivers won't work with Direct TV dishes. And like wise, Direct TV receivers won't work with Dishnetwork dishes. Hope this helps. My best regards.

As I understand it, you can already go into dishonline.com and add things to your dvr. You just can't manage the files that are already there yet. But they have a test icon on that page.

SlingBox answers
1. For those of you using Jaws and Slingbox, how is the accessibility? Will I need sighted help to install and/or set it up? If you have good Jaws skills you can do it yourself. You need to famliarize yourself with SlingBox hardware'ss connectors like coax, S VHS and so on. I don't know which model you have. You can call 1-877-GO-SLING. You need to know how to open a port on your router. Port forwarding. 2. If I install Slingbox and my mom is watching something on her TV, can I watch another channel on my PC at the same time? NO. What I would tell your cable company is to run a single coaxial cable line into your room where your tv is. And connect this new cable line into the SlingBox hardware. I don't know if you have a tv set in your room and if your computer is in the same room. I have DirecTV andI have DTV Tivo box and I run a composite AV cables out of the tivo box to the SlinbBox's single AV input. 3. Do I need a TV tuner card on my PC? I do have one, so that shouldn't be a problem. NO. Sling Media requires no tv tuner card to work. 4. Is there anything else I should know before going forward with this? I would buy the additional cable box. Get the model number for the cable box. You will need it in order to do the setup process. Call Sling tech support and they will guide you to do the setup over the phone. Call them a few times before you are actually ready to do the setup. Make all proper physical connections. You also get a IR Blaster sensor. The Sling Player is accessible as you can use many keyboard shortcuts to control your cable box. ctrl+M toggles the sound. Alt+P is the player menu. The SlingPlayer has only 3 menus. Every SlingBox has a IP Finder address. When you call Sling tech support tell them you need the direct URL address for the latest SlinPlayer version so you can download it to your PC. Do not run the software. You will just download the .exe file on your hard drive. Have all connections setup and then you call tech support to continue. You do not use the CD that comes with SlingBox hardware. Note: To change a channel wthin SlingPlayer software you use your keyboard's numbers row keys. If your calbe company uses the 0 then you have to use the 0 also. Like 02 for channel 2. Jaws does not read the cable box's menus nor the program guide listings. It's all invisible. Jaws cursor doesn't work either. You can change the channels from the SlingPlayer software.

What are the differences between the Slingbox devices?
Hi. I received the Slingbox device for Christmas which allows you to watch your television channels over the internet. I know there are three versions of the Slingbox, but I don't know the differences between them. I know I didn't get the Pro version, but I'd like to know the differences between it and the other two. You can give me a web site to look this information up. I tried going to http://slingbox.com and got a very cryptic page with graphical links. Thanks for the help.

SlingBox answers here
I have been using the SlingBox now for 4 months. I have here DirecTV satellite service, The latest Sling Player software and firmware version. I have the first and original SlingBox device. Some tips here. To change channels you press the numbers row on your keyboard. SlingBox has keyboard shortcuts for us. You are not forced to use the remote control that appears on the SlingPlayer software screen. You can toggle the remote to apear or not appear on your screen. I never use the remote as it is not JAWS friendly the time I tried to use it. Use the keyboard shortcuts. I have a list of these shortctcuts. I will post to this list soon when I find them. CTRL+M - mutes the tv sound. M - brings up menu list for your remote control. space bar - to select an item. Do not use your enter key. You will have to open a port on your router. Its port 5001. Tech support: 1-877-GO-SLING You will place in foront of your satellite/cable box a IR Blaster which will allow you to control your receiver box with your keyboard. Your keyboard becomes your remote control. For both sighted and blind users. You must have DSL/cable high speed internet for SlingBox to work well for you. I use A DirecTV Tivo box here.

To Gary King: The SlingBox allows you to control your device wherever you are whether you are at home or in another country. You ask if you can record? If you have a Tivo like I do from DirecTV satellite I can record on the fly recordings. Say I am in another country with my notebook pc. The notebook has the SlingPlayer installed. Your home pc is connected to your Slingbox device and the Slingbox is connected tyo your router. Your home PC doesn't have to be on. Just your modemand router have to be on only. on the notebook PC I run the SlingPlayer software, sign in. You will hear your tv sound come on. You need broadband connection. The shortcut to activate the record button is ctrl+shift+r The above command starts the recording for me. My DirecTV box starts the recording for me. I haven't done this much so I may have forgotten a step or 2. Another thing to note is the recording the Tivo makes will be on the Tivo hard drive and not on your computer. For me JAWS doesn't read the Tivo options - buttons that one sees on a regular tv set. I have memorize the tivo screen list of buttons and options. My tivo makes a beeping sound everytime I go up and down. The llingbox is great for watching live tv. If you think you can access the tv guide and all on the computer so far I cannot. Jaws cannot read anything.

Re: Slingbox users?
Oh, thought this was like a Tivo where you download content on to it and hook it to your TV. Or is there another one I heard of engadget called the slinkbox with a K that is for that purpose. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2005 7:29 AM Subject: Slingbox users?
