Help with Slingbox

Need Help with Slingplayer Mobile and X7501-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Slingplayer stopped working on my X7501 a few months back. I get an error message saying, "cannot connect, check your connection settings". All the HTC, AT&T, and Slingmedia peeps can't put my Slingplayer back together again. I've tried reloading new and old versions to only get it to work for a few minutes. After that it's back to the same error message. The X7501 is now off Sling's compatible list too. Any advice is appreciated and by the way Slingplayer mobile is working on my other phones just fine.

Found my own problem solutiongo to settings/connections/connections then edit your existing connection , go to proxy settings and UNCHECK the second option that wants you to use internet via proxy server. this should fix it , its a bit strange to uncheck this option , other apps like coreplayer work with this option checked or unchecked but slingplayer does not. |

Has anyone had success connecting their HTC Touch Pro to their SlingBox Pro? I've contacted SlingMedia and they have not replied in over 3 weeks. I get the following error when trying to load the "CAB" file, "Setup can be installed only on SmartPhone, this device is not a valid SmartPhone device. Setup cannot continue."Thanks in advance for any support that can be provided. rkeinc |

"Has anyone had success connecting their HTC Touch Pro to their SlingBox Pro? I've contacted SlingMedia and they have not replied in over 3 weeks. I get the following error when trying to load the "CAB" file, "Setup can be installed only on SmartPhone, this device is not a valid SmartPhone device. Setup cannot continue."My bad and please bear with me on this... After visiting the SprintUsers site and seeing that others had made the HTC Touch Pro connection to SlingMedia, I got to thinking what "I" must be doing wrong - well here it is - I was trying to download the "CAB" for a SmartPhone and not the Pocket PC 1.6 - that was my problem, specifically I was just stuck on trying to install "SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Smartphone 1.6 (US English)" and not the "SlingPlayer Mobile for Pocket PC 1.6 (US English)". Once I did this it IS working! And phenominally well! So I apologize for my "shortsighted thinking inside the box" attitude and hope others can learn from my mistake! Oh Happy Days - rkeinc - :-) |
