I guess its one of the links in that thread that is the culprit.

There are only 2 links in that thread, one is to the product page for the STB and the other is to a Slingbox bin file.

Welcome back Vicky, we last heard from you back in May, you've been missed.

From the Roku forum thread:

Unfortunately, Edmund has already deleted the link, so I don't know which link was supposedly causing problems.

The link in second post was the link erased in thread in the roku forum. I simply went through the pages in slingbox forum here, found the first thread dealing with roku, which was on page 8, copied it pasted there. I don't have webcam myself.

If you run into problems, please make sure to read and answer any troubleshooting questions found in the readme file.

Please let us know if it works.

I downloaded that file, it's just a zip file that contains 2 bin files and a readme.txt file. Vicky didn't even create that file, it was Alan. So I think the person over at Roku was pulling your leg.

He only had three posts, I wouldn't give it another thought.
