Unreal features. 60 min of DVR (pause, rev, forward), guide info, a few other features. Really really slick.

How stable is it? Does it upgrade the firmware of the Slingbox? If I want to go back to 1.5, can I?

Thanks for the heads-up!

Rock solid so far...


I think there's no problem going back to 1.5, but check to be sure.

It updated my Slingbox to 1.2.7, but it had been a long time since I updated.


FYI, the setup util seems to be trying to do more, but if you're familiar with the old way it seems a little overdone.

Also, after the update my Slingbox changed IPs from .2 to .254. You might need to tweak settings after the fact.

Gotcha. I'm out of town until tomorrow so I don't want to upgrade now if there's any possibility of the IP address changing -- I don't want to lose connectivity...

Yeah, the other odd thing... the new player won't let you add a box unless you're on the local segment - it won't continue the setup until it can find it in that manner. You can't just specify the socket. After it's all added you can, but not prior.
