Re: Has anyone tried Slingbox with TV out?

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.

**EDIT**

Darkness just explained how to bring up the remote screen. So, yeah, it works great.
You can use the keyboard as well... For quite a few functions, and it's easier to deal with than the on screen microscopic buttons. If you want to change channels, either type the channel in or use the + or - keys...
