Using the SlingRemote
The SlingPlayer remote control displays the buttons for the device you connected
to your Slingbox. If you connected a DVR, you can play your recorded
programs and control the action. You can even schedule recordings right from
the SlingPlayer. Use the SlingRemote to control whatever you connect to the
Slingbox.
1. Click on the remote control icon at the bottom of the video window to display
the remote control.
2. Use the buttons as you normally did before you connected the Slingbox.
A: Access your menus and guides. Use all of your cable box, satellite receiver or
DVR menus and guides.
B: Channel surf. Tune to a channel while you’re watching live television. If you
resized the remote control to a narrow view, click the left or right arrow buttons
to scroll through each separate remote control section. The remote is grouped in
logical order.
C: Control the action. Familiar playback options for your recorded programs and
live action. Play, pause, skip ahead and back, fast forward and rewind. You’re in
control of your DVR wherever you go. Click on the Remote menu to access all of
the remote controls for your device. You can even schedule recordings on your
DVR right from the SlingPlayer.
Note: The SlingRemote might look slightly different, depending on the device you
connected to your Slingbox. If you’re not sure what a button does, move your
mouse over the button for a description.
Tip: You can also use the arrow buttons on your keyboard to navigate.
Most SlingPlayer menu items and buttons have their own keyboard shortcut. To view
a button or menu shortcut, move your mouse pointer over the item.
