slingbox pro hd and Revo? Has anyone tried this with Slingplayer 2.0 **in HD**?

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?

I use xbmc, showbox, Netflix... It does the job well. I don't play blu ray rips. Spend the extra $ and get the new minix 8. Or great unit to add on and side load xbmc and showbox to would be Amazon firetv box, you can unlock usb port to play back video. I'm getting firetv box for my mom.

I loaded a set of 30 mp4 ( M4V) versions of my HD travelogues to my local EX4 and they play nicely on Apple TV via my iPad mini. Our second EX4 server is 350 miles away in my son's house. I can up- and download with no problem but have not been able to stream to TV in real time. We both have FIOS service and the movies play on my iPad, so it should work on TV, if we get the buffering right.

This cable would not work with your receiver. According to the manual for your receiver (which can be found here: http://manuals.solidsignal.com/D12_Owners_Manual.pdf) your receiver has standard composite video output (a yellow RCA cable used with a red and white audio cables), not component output (green, blue and red video cables along with a red and white audio cable). There is also an S-video output on your receiver, which looks similar to the 10-pin connection on this cord, but is completely different. However, you could use a similar product sold on Amazon (found here: 7-Pin S-Video to 3 RCA RGB (Red, Blue, & Green) Component TV HDTV - Video Adapter Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FBS3D82/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_H5wNub1DWMWC1) which would allow you to use the s-video output on your receiver and the component input on the slingbox, and that setup would give you the best picture quality you'll be able to get out of your setup. Good luck!

You would have to talk to Toontrack.....very good support----I would think so , but I only have the EZplayer pro which comes with Superior2.0

By "HD", I'm assuming you mean "hard drive" and not "high definition".Does this thing output 1080/720 if it receives such a signal from a Slingbox HD/Pro?

yes, I had a slingbox solo and this uses a standard ethernet connection. You should be fine and speeds should be fine as well.

I have the same problem with my Sony BDP-s370 Bluray player. The only files Eyeconnect sees are my EyeTV files, and those stutter (would love to find a way to let them buffer a little). The rest (AVIs, MPGs, etc.) don't even show up as options...

Im sure there are other apps out there but I play my files from my NAS using XBMC. The only ones I have problem with are 1080p 3D movies and I think thats more of the A100 itself and not so much XBMC.

My Roku 2 HD will not accept software update...have tried about 20 times. I can no longer access my Amazon Instant Video. Strange that my older Roku XD has updated and runs the new software for Amazon just fine!

Since I don't have a sling box, I'm not sure. However, hooking it up to my computer and then to other USB supported pieces of equipment; it worked fine.

Yes, the slingbox solo really works as it was advertized. The solo does not get a good picture quality. I just wish that I had ordered me one with HD. It would have been much better. Highly recommanded

I know it supports the Amazon system, Netflix, and I believe it also supports Red Box streaming, but I wouldn't swear to it. Seems to work well, but a trick I have learned is if you have a problem with discs not loading correctly or any function not working, unplug the unit then plug it back in and it seems to reprogram it to function good as new. Strange, but it relies heavily on being controlled by the remote, and it will occasionally seem to be confused on the function. By unplugging it this seems to solve the issue and it hasn't been a problem as a result. I have it plugged into a rack system with many other stereo and video components so that might be what is causing it.

bec. the slingbox is not wifi capable. you have to connect the RCA/Component cables from the cable box.

I have both. Apples vs. Oranges. GenieGo only plays saved DVR recordings, not live regular DTV channels. Streaming is flawless. Can also copy to your mobile device to watch off-line. Doesn't need to play through your DTV receiver as sling does.

I have both the Pro HD and and a Pro. And recently I installed a Slingcatcher. I must say that this device works well enough to replace the need of a PC running to watch TV remotely. I'm streaming from Hong Kong with the Pro HD to my cable internet (6M down plan) in Los Angeles. We used to have cable in HK and frankly the connection is iffy at best. Sometimes it would stream at 640x240, but most of the time it falls back to 320x240 and is choppy as heck. So we finally got 100Mbps fiber installed in HK for a great price (13 USD a month) and it supports 20Mbps upload/download to overseas locations. I got my SC the same day we got hooked up with fiber. Even though we're only getting 1-1.5Mbps I can stream HD content (down-converted by the slingbox of course) at 640x480 or 1280x540. 640x480 is very smooth, while 1280x540 drops some frames if the speed dips below 1Mbps. It's still very good quality and the remote makes it really easy to use. No more aiming at the buttons with my mouse and no need to burn 300 Watts running the PC. I have it connected via HDMI to my 52" LCD. It looks very good. It's not broadcast quality HD, but darn close for something that's 8000 miles away. I think once you select HDMI out the composite out won't work. I wanted to redistribute the content throughout the house and it looks like it would be impossible running both HDMI and Composite. If I recall correctly. It does have an option to stream in 5.1 under audio in the second OPT menu.

Most of the audio issues arise from trying to play mkv's with AC3 audio. If you email NBoxPlayer@gmail.com, they'll hook you up with a patch that you can download and install. Works like a charm and they were really fast about it! Apparently the firmware update is under the "manufacturer's copyright protection" so they can't just release the link on the internet.
