what does it matter which slinbox you have anyway either the solo or the pro you update the firmware you should be able to.

That's all fine & dandy if your channels are listed there.

I need to type in the number because none of the HD channels in my system are listed & I can't figure out any way to add them.......

I was just looking through the channels again & not only is HBO listed incorrectly, I have something like 8-10 HBO channels in my service & it only lists one (& it is wrong)

It's the limitation of the hardware you have. You probably only have 3 cables going to your slingbox instead of 5. With only 3 cables, you can't full screen even on your desktop.

It's just like the TV I think. I don't think you will be able to enjoy the HD if you only have 3 video cables connected.

Geez, I just fired up my Sling setup on my LT (I never use it in my LT) & none of my HD channels are there either.....

jim when you setup the slingbox on pc it should ask for the zip code in your area. try other zips in your area. i barely remember i had similar problem long ago.

It's weird, I have Time Warner HD cable & it ID's it fine at setup.

Does sling.com have the right system for you on their server? All the NY TWC channels were listed (not all logos were present though). I just finished adding approximately 80 HD channels to my favorites.
