Title: Sling Media in Theatre View
Post by: HarryW on February 05, 2007, 07:58:15 am

Does anyone use Sling Box (www.slingmedia.com) and successfuly configured the Sling Viewer to a dedicated button in Theatre view in MC12?

I assume you cannot edit the existing TV button in Theatre View and that you have to dedicate a new button to point to the viewer in "all programs" on the PC. Is this correct

I have yet to buy a Sling box but before i do i want to ensure that a non techie like me can get it to work so that by simply pressing the TV button on Theatre view i can watch Uk televison in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Oh and by the way it is really hot down here!

Thanks for any input anyone may have.
Harry

Good to hear.  It was -22 F here in Minneapolis this morning.  Maybe it will cool off soon.

I bought a SlingBox when they first came out just to test it.  I don't know of a way to connect it with MC though.
