[Joel]

Remote control commands, keyboard shortcuts, mono high default, and last channel icon revision are what's new with beta 2 of the SlingPlayer Mobile. [details (http://www.1src.com/?m=show&id=1922)]

Says a Treo is required. So it won't work over WiFI with a LD or TX?

i read over on palmaddicts that the new beta 2 works on the TX.... my slingbox av should be arriving tomorrow, so I'll let you know if I can get it working on my TX.....

I also read someone's post stating that the Sling Player for Palm worked fine on his TX.

I am wondering if anyone knows if it will work on the Tungsten C. I don't have a Sling box for my DVR, or I would try it myself. However, the Tungsten C uses Wi-Fi beautifully, so I thought there might be a way to use Sling Player for Palm on my T/C, since it seems to work on the TX over Wi-Fi. If it does work on my T/C, I will probably get a Sling box for my DVR.

I don't know why the developer isn't specifically making the application for Wi-Fi enabled Palm PDAs, too, but that's not my decision. I don't want any of the Treos that have been released, so far. I find my Tungsten C and a separate cell phone preferable.

If you have any information regarding Sling Player for Palm on the Tungsten C, I would appreciate your comments.

It is working wonderfully on my TX over WiFi... the silkscreen of course stays up, so I cannot take advantage of the large screen real estate the TX provides, but that's ok and it what I expected with it being a Treo app....

I'm considering getting a 3G phone that I can connect to over bluetooth so I can see how that connection works, but I want to find some other users who have paired a TX with a 3G phone to see how the speed was.... It would be great to be able to watch my Tivo wherever, whenever....

As for the TC... I doubt that it will work... My guess is that it requires Garnet (and it is actually supposed to be a Treo only app)... You could always try downloading and installing the player just to see if it installs... That should probably be your first step... be sure to do a backup first so that if anything happens you can easily revert back....

npbeers and Quark,

Thank you both for the posts. I'll give it a go on my LD and report back.

LOL! It works GREAT on my LifeDrive. I can't wait to be out of the house and connected to WiFi so I can tap in to watch some TV.

The remote interface seems kind of klunky -- I guess I need to get used to it. It's too much fun....

It's running fine on my TX but I can't seem to change channels on my ReaplyTV...Anyone else using thier TX with a ReplayTV DVR?

[npbeers]

Do you have the IR sensors for the slingbox properly attached? Can you change channels with SlingPlayer on your PC?

[nhw3w]

Yes, I have no problems operating my ReplayTV DVRs using the PC version of Slingplayer. I think the problem is with the beta 2 software.

Do you have a ReplayTV that you can change channels on via your TX using the beta2 software?

[npbeers]

No, I use TiVo Series 2....
