Re: Has anyone tried Slingbox with TV out?

As a matter of fact, I tried it out today.

Here is the issue...

When you plug the video cable in, the screen goes to landscape mode. So, what happens is that slingplayer goes into landscape mode and you can't change the channels without unplugging the cable, selecting your channel, then plugging the cable back in. Kind of a pain.

Other than that, it works very well. Very usable. I'm looking forward to traveling now because I should be able to just plug the TP into the hotel room TV.

Hope this helps!

**EDIT**

Darkness just explained how to bring up the remote screen. So, yeah, it works great.
