I have both a Slingbox 500 and a Slingbox PRO-HD.

I want to use them with the new Directv Now Streaming Box C71KW-200.

That device isn't in the Slingbox directory. Can I control it with either the Slingbox PRO-HD or 500? If so, do I just select a different remote from the ones available in the directory?

Just pick any DirecTV satellite code like 1377 for any recent (past decade or so) box (HR20, Genie, etc.).

We don't actually select numerical codes with the Slingbox, but I can confirm that ALL DirectTV boxes use the same codes so just pick any DirecTV box and you should be good to go.

So far, this seems to be that best streaming device for me with the Slingboxes. Being able to enter a specific channel number and go directly to it is much nicer when using a smartphone, tablet or laptop computer.
