Comment on Using a Slingbox Pro HD with Verizon FiOS TV and Mac OSX Snow Leopard by Dan

Sorry I missed your question. One thing I have noticed about the slingbox is that watching football is sort of unsatisfying. The compression algorithm seems to have problems rendering fast moving video smoothly. Did you do your plan? How were the results?

I know these posts are a year, old but I am hoping someone will respond as I desperately need help. I have Verizon Fios and I installed a Slingbox. I had no problem getting it installed, but the onscreen remote does not work. The only thing I am able to do is control the volume and mute controls. I cannot change the channels. The cable box is Motorola QIP6200 and I chose that model # and the remote looks just like the one I have. I tried all of the model numbers listed for the Motorola cable box and all of the codes but nothing worked. I have been on the internet for hours trying to get help and can’t find any.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Hi,

Thank you very much for this post. I just installed a new slingbox and I had to change my verizon router settings in order to get it to work. I would never have been able to complete this if I had not found this blog.

Regards

Hopefully you response before christmas

I have FIOS and I’m reading I cannot hook up FIOS because of a limitation on FIOS’s end. Something to due with inability to watch my channels. Do you understand my issue as vague as it is? I want to use the PRO-HD but it doesn’t have HDMI which is upsetting. YOur comments?

Quick question on HD quality. I am thinking of hooking up a Slingbox PRO HD to my father’s Verizon FIOS and watching it remotely on a new iMac 27″. My download speed is 7mbps and his upload over FIOS is 5mbps. Will this be sufficient for true HD viewing?

My reasoning is that I can eliminate my $46/mo cable bill and watch Patriots football in Chicago for $10/mo (cost of an additional HD cable box from Verizon). No more junky Dish network through my building and no need for Sunday Ticket. In fact, the Slingbox will pay for itself within a year of purchase.

What kind of issues should I expect if I implement this plan?

Thanks!

I recently tried installing a PRO-HD on my FIOS network. It has the same router as you mentioned that you have. Even though I have my PC and the box hooked up to adjacent LAN connections, the set-up program can’t see any box, even though the router shows it and the lights on the PRO-HD are correct. I’ve shut down all firewalls (router & PC) but nothing helps. Even swapped for another box. Nothing. What should I be looking for in the router or PC. I’m stumped and frustrated. Really want to get this to work.

Bob – I have that same speed mini and I am satisfied. Occasionally the sound gets ever so slightly out of sync with this video, and I suspect that’s CPU related, but quickly pausing and restarting the video seems to solve it. So, it’s somewhat less than ideal but still OK for me and the kids. YMMV!
