i bought a slingbox but ended up returning it because of the full screen issue, that annoyed me. I will look into finding out which ones work for full screen.

On my old Touch Pro, Portrait mode was the only way to see the Streaming statistics. How do you show statistics now if there is no portrait mode?

I don't think that's right, I have an SB-Pro (connected to both component & standard cable) & it won't do it.

I don't think you can (I don't see any FPS setting)

Slingbox Solo, Dish HD, Verizon TP2 with the new WM6.5, letterbox makes it fill screen when the programming is full screen HD.

In SPM Ver 1.6 the setting is in Player>Player Options>Advanced Tab>Show Statistics.

When the option box is checked, it shows statistics in the upper right portion of the title bar in portrait mode only. fps & kbps are both displayed. When you switch to Landscape mode there is no statistics display.

It would be a real shame to loose this functionality. It is the only way we can benchmark the program's performance (except subjectively of course)!

I retyped my over and over as well. Then I quit. I hope I can figure it out later.

OK, I see what's going on now.

I have a high def cable box, but when I use the favorites function it is setting all standard def channels for some reason.

If I enter a high def channel with the keypad, it is full screen but I can't figure out how to save it as a favorite????

I know all that, I have always used those options but they don't seem to exist in the new version unless I'm missing something.

I have the slingbox solo and I was able to get full screen. I went into options and clicked letterbox.
