So is it showing actual full screen or does it just stretch out the smaller picture.

What is the upload speed of the internet connection you are pushing the sling through? Anything less than 2mb will cause your image to be scaled down to prevent picture degradation. You can adjust the screen resolution manually in the settings to force the resolution you desire.

Okay, so after trying to configure everything that I could to get a true "Full Screen" picture in my EVO running Slingplayer, I have finally got it. Here is what you need to know:

-If you are using the composite connection from your cable box to your slingbox (the red/white/yellow cables) only, you will get a smaller, scaled down picture.

-If you use a component (5 individual wires, 3 for video, 2 for audio) you WILL get a full screen image in high quality.

My trouble was I had been using composite conneciton. I re-ran my cable connections as follows.

-Cable wire into cable box
-Component cables from cable box "OUT" into "IN" of Slingbox
-Another set of component cables from "OUT" of Slingbox to television component input
-Opened set-up within the Slingbox website and reconfigured the slingbox using the component as the input rather than the composite

Here is the website video showing you in detail how to connect:

*I use a Slingbox SOLO and it gets an awesome picture whether on wifi or 3G data (I have no 4G in my area)

Can anyone get it to recognize using HDMI out? I got my cable last night and videos play fine, but Slingplayer won't transmit over HDMI Out.

ok I am considering purchasing a SlingBox however i would like to know the quality of the video. Is there any way one of you would give me the info to login and try it for a few minutes? If so please PM me.

If not please just disregard this post.

I appreciate all the help guys.
