How come my Slingbox app is not working on my Windows 8 Laptop?
I have a Slingbox 350 that is set up to my Xfinity cable box at my house. I'm living 2 hours away at college and have not had any issues accessing my Slingbox in the past, however I got a new Windows 8 Toshiba Satellite laptop as a Christmas gift and have not been able to watch TV on my Slingbox on the new laptop. I purchased the iPhone app and that works fine, but I could not get it working on my laptop so I purchased the new Windows 8 "SlingPlayer" application and every time I try to log in it gives me an error message saying "An unknown error occurred. Please try again later". I have already called the Slingbox support team on several occasions, but they have not been able to give me a solution.
I own the slingbox solo and have used it to stream mainly sporting events to my iPhone which has an unlimited data plan through AT&T. I also stream shows to my ipad when I'm on vacation and have access to Wi-Fi and want to catch up on my DVR recorded shows. My Solo is 3 years old and hasn't had any problems so I figured I'd upgrade to the 350 to get better resolution. Set-up was a breeze after hooking up the Slingbox to my set top cable box. I logged onto my computer and launched the guide and within 5 minutes I was streaming TV to all of my devices. Being very tech, it is easy for me to say lots of electronics are easy to set up but knowing this I can say that 95% of you can easily set this slingbox up within minutes.
If you want to use this to stream TV to your ipad/iphone expect to pay for your apps separately. But luckily once you pay for the app you own it forever and can download the app to as many devices as you own.
- Windows 7 Laptop will not import iPhone 3GS photos, but imports videos? I tried to import photos and videos from my 3GS using the import photos button built in to Windows 7. For some reason the photos will not import when I try, but the videos will. I get the message "The following error occurred while importing IMG_0003.JPG: The system can't find the path specified. What do you want to do? Try again, Skip this file, Skip all files with errors." The phone was unlocked and it still did not work.
- Iphone generic charger but has a chip not working with windows 10? Alot of factors in play. - Built a new tower, so usb drivers may be incompatible with windows 10 (using msi h97 gaming 3 mobo, which doesn't provide drivers for windows 10) - Have read that others are not able to use iPhones and Samsungs with win10 - Using a generic cable which worked on win7 or wall charger. Any one having the same issue with an official cable? Atleast then i can rule that out
