Yea, I was wrong with the Pro/HD info.

I forgot about the HD (my Pro was the top of the line when I bought it)

It is hooked up with an HD cable however & definitely will not display full screen.

If switching to the HD would cure the problem I would do it in a heartbeat but I don't think that's the case??

The tp2 has a resolution of 800 by 480(5 by 3 ratio), so slingmobile is displaying a 4 by 3 picture on a 5 by 3 screen. So therefore no matter what type of slingbox you have at home, your slingmobile software on your phone will still do the same thing which is have black bars on each side. If the tp2 had a screen resolution of 800 by 600 then it would fill up the whole screen since it would have the same screen ratio of 4 by 3

I guess we should start emailing

5 by 3 explained very well

My problem with slingmobile is that it will not work with data, it will only work with wifi. If anybody has any tips to get it to work with data please let me know. I called sling support and they can't help since they don't technically have a version for our phones.

My Sling works just fine over EV and WiFi.

Do you have your sling set for HIGH streaming quality. If so, change that to 500 kb, and it will fix the constant buffering.
