Only the power light will illuminate, and no amount of resetting or unplugging / replugging the unit will bring it back. I've looked at the Slingbox support forums, and there are dozens of users with the same issue and no resolution. All have the Solo, and all are about 18-24 months old. Sling has not responded to my requests for assistance with this problem.
any one have any insight on sling's product roadmap? This has been out there for a while and I want to upgrade my old sling a/v but not sure whether or not to pull the trigger. Any advice?
All of these Slingboxes are great devices and offer lots of functionality. I know they are integrating Sling technology into Echostar satellite boxes and they could eventually just integrate the hardware into cable boxes and cable modems to streamline the process.

The got it right the first time and each upgrade has just been about offering increased processing and HD. I really want a PRO HD to zoom content around my house. Right now, I'm using an original Sony Locationfree box to turn my laptop or psp into a portable tv. They both work well, but...

Hey Guys, I recently got a Slingbox PRO-HD and I love it! Unfortunately the Slingplayer itself sucks because it limits the Slingbox to only one viewer simultaneously. I found VLC player + the VLC Slingbox Plugin to be an alternative to the Slingplayer, but it only works with the Slingbox SOLO model. Anyone out there with more luck? Any other alternatives to the Slingplayer? Don't hesitate to post links to relevant articles! Here is some good information about VLC + Slingbox....

I have tried several times to connect with the Sky Box back in the UK and although I can control the channels I am getting a blank screen and the slingbox streaming bitrate is at 0 kbps. Could anyone advise me what to do to rectify this issue? Thanks in advance
