hey all. I have a slingbox. you may or may not have heard of it. if you havent its a device that takes ur signal from ur cable/sattelite and broadcasts it on the net, and you can watch your TV from anywhere you have internet. Now I had cable in the past, so the version of box I have is the tuner one. u just plug the coax in the back and it works. and you can change the frequency the slingbox is recieving so that it changes your channel. I have a dual tuner HD DVR with dish network now. I have the secondary TV view..so i do have the UHF coax line. I hook it into the back of the slingbox, and have the slingbox set to channel 73, which is the frequency TV 2 is setup to output on.. so yay it works! and im in germany on vacation for the month...problem is to change the channel i have to call_text my mom and ask her to change the channel on the box. what I wanna know is does anyone know anyway you can control your box remotely? like on the internet?? again remember cant add anything to the box right now..im in germany.. please help me. thanx for any advice you all give me.
