Has anyone had any compatibility issues with the new Verizon set top boxes, and THIS model of Slingbox? I can get sound, but cannot get picture.

Quick question is have you use this slingbox with any other cable service before? The only thing I can think the problem I can see is you may have a bad composite video cable or plugged in wrong the green is the main video then blue & red check to make sure you don't mixup the red cable if your using composite video! the other why you could check your slingbox is connect it to a DVD player then try it with that hope this is helpful

I'm considering buying a VBR337 myself because it is listed on Amazon's site as compatible with app for Amazon streaming video. I currently have Vizio TV and a non-Amazon-compatible Vizio BR player. Check out compatibility list at

I recently bought the Viera TC-P55ST50 and I am not happy and I am considering replacing it for the following reasons: Picture quality, Reflection madness, Cannot receive Amazon 3D movies because I do not have enough band width and you can't rent 3D movies from Netflix, Hulu, or from Blockbuster so who do you rent from? So, limited to DirecTV (which I have). I miss my Samsung, so looking at replacing with this product mentioned in this month's Consumer Reports as a "Best Buy". Other reviews regarding who needs a "Smart TV" are correct as long as you have a Blu Ray player with those features or game box.

I'm trying to use the Sony NWZ A818 with Amazon Unbox and I'm not having any luck. Amazon's help text says "*most* plays for sure devices work for Unbox. See our list of supported devices"... and the Sony doesn't appear on this list. I'd love to hear a definitive answer on this but for those of you who are expecting Unbox to work - I don't think it will. Regardless, it's a great player - incredible audio, beautiful screen & device, 100% dependable. I recommend it!

Yes, you do have to purchase the app for your tablet and phone in order to watch your home tv on them. It's worth it though. The Sling Box is great! I watch sports, tv shows, dvr recordings, etc when I'm at the gym and out of town. I know it's an expensive app, but the app and sling box are great.

HI, the slingbox is a great time.... I used the Slingbox when I was in Paris.... I watch the first round of the NBA finals in a Broadway theater... Just during intermittion..... Is it like being a home?.... NO.... Is it a great substitute!... Yes.... The slingbox reception all start with your home.... the faster the internet the better reception on the other end... You can call Slingbox's tech support.... they are very helpful... lot of luck....

I tried an optical cable and could not get it to work. I ended up going with an HDMI cable that was ARC compatible and haven't had any issues with sound while watching tv. When I watch Netflix or hbo go I sometimes have the volume cut out but I think that is the app

Slingbox has a bare bottom data rate of 69Kb/s which is 13Kb/s greater than the max theoritical capablity of dial up service 56Kb/s and you never ever get that much out of your modem. It will not work on dial up with video. You could try manually setting manual stream parameters to 50Kb/s with Video frames per second to 1 (so a still frame once a second) but I don't expect good results. The only other option is audio only (no pictures) which operates at about 20Kb/s which should work on dial up. Please keep in mind that most Wireless and cable network systems will get you at least the 70Kb/s required on the receiver. Upload requires at least 250Kb/s to make it work. The sling box only works in NTSC or HD 1080i or720p (US, Canada, Japan etc) on the transmit side but it doesn't care at all where it is on the receive end, as long as it has enough bandwidth. Hope this helps

Audio and video are separate. The signals (audio and video) come out perfect from this device and I love it! I purchased it, because I have an older Harmon Kardon Receiver with no HDMI capabilities. I wanted to have the 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound...from my new Blu-ray player. My new Blu-ray player only had the HDMI connection, so I needed the converter to run the 1080p video to my TV and I used the optical out (on the converter) to get the 5.1 signal to my old receiver. The converter has HDMI out and Optical out. This device is meant to send audio to a device (such as my older receiver) that do not have HDMI input. The Optical out (via fiber optic cable) carries the sound. The HDMI out goes to the TV...for video and the optical goes to the receiver, or audio device. HDMI carries audio and video in one cable, so I am not sure about what you are trying to do. Bottom line...this converter will take your HDMI signal and split the audio and video. The video will go out through the HDMI and into your video display and the audio will come out of the optical connection. If your audio device does NOT have an optical connection, this device will not work for you. You mention 2 channels. Are you trying to send sound to 2 speakers (stereo mode) from your slingbox? If so, I would recommend buying a receiver with HDMI inputs. I am not 100% sure about what you are trying to do, but I am sure I can help you figure out how to fix your problem. I have been dealing with A/V equipment since the late 80's. If you tell me all the audio and video equipment you have, I can probably tell you exactly what you need. It looks like you may be looking at the wrong device, for what you are wanting to do.

ya Barbara you keep in touch with me and we will get it figured out. I did go to the Amazon app store and downloaded it and it does not work out of sinkt is not the discription I would give the quality, it is a stable picture with no movement then the sound works great...I am going to try the brandy even though it looks like I as well as others have asked her to be more elaborate she never gets back to us..

Yes, if the STB/Slingbox connection is A/V cables, but not if you are relying on HDMI between the two. Some channels are blocked unless it is direct from the STB to the TV.

Dear friend.Thank you for your message.Please note that this Quad Core TV box requires the special A10 Quad Core XBMC (That is the vidon.me TV).The Quad Core XBMC Gotham 13.1 you used is not suitable for this TV box.We suggest that you uninstall the Quad Core XBMC Gotham 13.1, and use the preinstalled XBMC (vidon.me TV).If there is not vidon.me TV in your box now, you can contact us via Amazon message.We will offer the vidon.me TV to you.Hope that this will help you.Best regards,Maria

Just go with hdmi and component outs from your STB into the Slingbox then HDMI out of slingbox into your TV and you won't have a problem or know the difference.

Im trying to connect it on LG tv and its not happening. I hear a buz but no audio. If i connect it to my cable box it works though. ???

The slingbox needs to be hooked up to the TV directly. However, if you have a smartphone with a video out display adapter you could watch slingbox on another TV by streaming through your smartphone (assuming you have purchased the Slinbox app for your phone). As you mentioned, any remote computer with Internet access will also work. Hope that helps.

I received the system today and connected the E-370 with HDMI cable to the back of my Bravia HDTV. I have another HDMI cable connecting my verizon box to the back of my HDTV. Unfortunately I have picture under one input and sound under another input. Please let me know what I need to do to correct the problem. Do I need a Digital Audio Optical Cable to connect the Verizon box to the E-370?

Yes, I've tried it, but it does not work well. The SlingPlayer software doesn't utilize the ION GPU and stutters badly in hi-def. I've tried both wireless N and a wired (powerline) connection with the same results. I can watch Sling in HD using the same network connection on my three year old laptop in the same location. Would love for this to work, as the Acer is small and otherwise works well, including streaming fairly hi-def (720p) movies from my server. Should note I have some weird results with the Sling in HD. When I start it and just stream HD it works ok - with about 70% CPU utilization, as soon as I start to use the remote, however it starts stuttering and CPU drops down to 35%. Perhaps a bug in the Sling software?
