522 and Slingbox Setup IR

[magohn]

Hello All,
First time poster. Can anyone tell me where the IR reciever is on the 522? I have a Slingbox and it has IR senders that need to point at the IR receiver on the 522. I have tried numerous positions but not much luck.
Thanks, John

It's behind the dark window on the front of the receiver.

Slingbox using IR will only control TV1. You need to find a setting in Slingbox that corresponds with the IR TV1 remote address you have chosen.

Slinbox without a pc???

I had read several months ago that Slingbox was developing one that can used without using a pc. Was wondering if anyone else had heard the same. Would it be able to throw hd to antoher tv??

Thank you, switching to TV1 fixed it

I have been told from a pretty reliable source that they are working on IR control for TV2 but the operative word is "soon" so who knows how long that could be.
