Slingbox with a Coolsat or Fortec?

[Scott Greczkowski]

Has anyone got their Coolsat or Fortec receiver to fully work with a Slingbox?

I got mine working with my Coolsat 5000, however I can not get into the menus to do things like Blind scans and things like that.

I want to be able to fully control my receiver from work. Anyone got any ideas how to do this?

I have been thinking about the slingbox for awhile.I was hoping the price would come down.Looks like an interesting new toy.Is it easy to set up and use ?

scott get the file here for your coolsat remote to work properly

by the way you noticed the monsoon timeshift media coming july 31st

that will give sling a run for the money.

I have that file already, it works with my COOLSAT 5000 fine, however the menu button does not work. (Not does it have buttons for TV / Radio, SAT and a few other common buttons.

At the risk of sounding Dumb, what is a slingbox. I have a coolsat 5000 so fill me in.

ask at JP1

you will need the device and subdevice (NEC1) codes for this STB

and if i am not mistaken you will get the specific codes from the learning remote.

slingbox is a timeshift device ,with that you are able to watch your channels anywhere you have broadband connection,you can actually use a remote on your screen to change the channels.take a look (slingmedia.com).

That is a nice device but I may have to hold off from investing in one now as I'm leaning toward this minibud experiment with a 1.2m dish and C/KU LNBF.Hoping Scott can shed some light on that over the weekend when he tries that 421.
