Just to save you some time, Alan is not going to be happy with your "it didn't control my box" response. He has a bunch of diagnostic questions in his readme file. If you make sure to answer all his specific troubleshooting questions you'll be that much closer to an solution.

No you are not in trouble, but Alan can't really help until he gets answers to his troubleshooting question. I didn't mean to sound mean.

And I am not offended. It's just that I spent a LOT of time writing the installation instructions and I do get a bit annoyed when people obviously don't bother reading them.

hello,

again i apologize, i do not know if im doing something wrong or i miss something, i already reset the slingbox (slingbox AV) twice and follow what was in the read me(the links on the read me file) and still have no luck.

i dont know if this will help.
i was able to put 2 sources with my device(slingbox AV) 1st source (svideo) which is our comcast cable box( i was able to configure this out with no problem) and 2nd composite(yellow,red,white) which is my ATLANTA DTH IP8950MT is connected.

add info: it is an iptv box

power on/off
up
down
left
right
ok/select
exit
home

I don't understand what is happening here. Here is a direct quote from the instructions. Why are you ignoring it ?

=============================================
If you have any problems installing these files please do NOT just report back it ‘doesn’t work’, that is totally useless for someone trying to understand what is going on. So please report all of the following:

1. What model Slingbox do you have?

2. Was there any error message after you typed in the Code and tapped the Test button?

3. Did you give the commands plenty of time to react? (I have a DVR that takes about 6-8 seconds to power up/down)

4. If you are using a Solo did you try both BIN files?

5. After completing the setup do any of the buttons work?

6. If you are installing on a Solo or Pro-HD or older box that uses an external IR Blaster, have you used a Digital Camera or Mobile Phone Camera to confirm the IR Blaster is actually firing when you tap the Power button? (Watch the tip of the IR Blaster through the viewfinder while you tap a button. You should see a white (not red) flash. Test it on a real remote so you know what you are looking for). If you are using a 350/500 have you tried using the external blaster?

7. Have you experimented with the placement of the IR Blaster? On some devices this is critical so don’t give up too quickly. Try shining a flashlight at the front of the receiver and see if you can see the IR receiver behind the smoked glass.

8. Are you sure the device is working correctly using the real remote?

No more ideas I'm afraid. I get the IR codes from the Logitech Harmony IR database by installing the device onto my Harmony remote to mimic the real remote. It all looked good from my end, sorry it didn't work out.

Doesn't this answer tend to imply that it's not a problem with the IR code? If his answer is correct, the blaster isn't sending anything.

Have you made sure it's plugged in correctly and all the way in?
