Talk:Slingbox

Astroturfing

The "Customer Problems" area has been gutted to the point that it now reads like it came from the Slingbox marketing team -- which it probably did. The description of the "slingcommunity" Web site is ripped directly from the "description" metatag on the site. All negative language was removed. Maketing buzzwords like "innovative device" crept in and the trademark symbol was included on all references.

Current version:

Slingbox customers have requested help with configuring their Slingbox's on the slingcommunity web site [5]. SlingCommunity is an interactive community dedicated solely to Sling Media's Slingbox™ Personal Broadcaster. It is a place where any consumer can share ideas and discuss this innovative device. Many consumers use this site to get help and report problems with network configuration, especially in configuring the Slingbox to be remotely viewable from the internet.

Sling Media also has a great support and support staff. You can find their support page here

Version available before "Daddybc" got ahold of the site:

Slingbox customers have reported numerous problem with configuring their Slingbox's on the company's community web site[5]. Many consumers have reported problems with network configuration, especially in configuring the Slingbox to be remotely viewable from the internet, when their SlingBox is behind a firewall on their home network. Even when the Slingbox is reachable from the internet, the company's configuration software refuses to update Slingbox settings to allow remote viewing unless the user's PC is running on the local (home) network.

NTSC

I made a edit adding Japan to the reference to NTSC, is this right? I would like some confirmation. I know that Japan uses ntsc, I just dont know if it applies in this context.

IR cabling

Is it just me, or does that sound odd.

No, it's just the lead and external IR sender pod that you string from the back of the Slingbox (or [Tivo] or Video Sender) to sit in front of your video/satellite unit so it can control it. AMe 19:36, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
