Mr Sling, when will you add slingPlayer for iPhone in non-US appStores (AppStore - Slovenia) ?

SlingPlayer for iPhone is available in any country where we sell Slingboxes. Another avenue you can try is to make an account in a country near Slovenia that does have the Apple app store and purchase there.

I've ordered slingbox from UK. Unfortunately I can't create account in other country with Slovenian mastercard.

Slovenia does have app store. I think that you should sell slingplayer in all appstores. A lot of people order slingbox from international sellers (ebay...)

so you mean to tell me that after I bought my slingbox less than three years ago, That I have to pay more money to upgrade to a new box. I dont mind paying the 30 dollars for my mobile application...However I only get 50.00 off a new one...thats after I spent 150.00 for the one i got from Best Buy. Will they ever give a better upgrade deal for your loyal customers? I have a android phone by the way. I currently have the Slingbox av box (the original solo) I would love to a upgrade to a new box...but , cant slingbox give a better upgrade deal than just $50.00. Or is there a way for the android versions of the software to work with my older box. Other than that ...I love my slingbox and will continue to be a loyal customer. :-)

thank you.

I hear you and I understand. We are always re-evaluating our promotions and we will take your input into our planning. One of the problems with continually advancing technology is the ability to be backward compatible. We always try to be as backward compatible as possible in our new products but as in any new and rapidly advancing tech area such as mobile TV it is sometimes just not possible.

Mr Sling when will the Slingplayer Application for Windows and the Mac be able to access the DISH Network 922? Old versions of the Slingplayer work fine with the 922, however access to the 922 has been blocked in newer versions of the Slingplayer app.

I want my kids to be able to use my Slingbox built into the 922 but I refuse to give them my username and password to my DISH Network account to do so, therefore watching via the website is a no go for me.

It's my Slingbox please let me access it just like every other Slingbox being sold. The 922 Slingbox a shell of what a real slingbox is in this case.

It is a DISH requirement that the 922 is accessed only by the Web Based SlingPlayer.

Then why call it a Slingbox since obviously its not one?

I am considering buying a slingbox pro so I can use with my android phone. How many devices (dvr, set top boxes, dvd) is the PRO version capable of hooking up to?

I'm assuming you mean a PRO-HD. You can hook up one component/digital device, one SD/composite device and one coax device into a PRO-HD. The PRO-HD also comes with a TV tuner so you can watch your local analog/digital broadcast or basic cable without changing channels on your home TV.
