400 * 240 is not that much bigger than 320 * 240.

I was saying as far as filling up the whole screen, the touch pro is 640 by 480 which is 4 times as much ast 320 by 240 and the touch pro 2 is 800 by 480 which is 5 times the resolution of 320 by 240 so if you don't mind me asking where did you get 400 by 240?

Same situation with the Hava player. Any news on WVGA support?

The aspect ratio is wrong tho, looks terrible imo.

The measured aspect ratio of the display image is very close to 16:9. The framing of the graphics looks to be for HDTV. The image doesn't looked stretched such as 4:3 to 16:9.

pls check your PM- I'm dying to now how you got hava working in landscape mode- I can only get it to stream in portrait - I thought up to now that this was a serious limitation of hava's mobile client. thanks

I have no problem with the picture on slingbox but it is the old touch pro screen so now it looks really small unless in landscape mode.

I called them up but you know who you talk to.Someone who speaks less english then my 2 year old Grandaughter.

He said he had no clue and tried to give me some url to look at.But if they support the Iphone then we should get a larger screen right?

Anyway call them up and let them know like i did we need a update for the touch pro 2.

You might want to check your I/R cables or where it actually hooks into to the slingbox. I just had to take mines apart the other day when I couldn't get the channels to change either.

Edit: which slingbox are you using?
