Guest marksmith34 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Has anyone tried using the Advent Vega with the SlingPlayer mobile App from the Android App store. I didn't want to pay £18 for it, it it doesn't work? (I have a SlingBox Solo and use the r8 vega install) Edited February 23, 2011 by marksmith34
Guest racingclub Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 yes, I have the same setup. It doesnt work perfectly, sometimes the app takes about 5 attempts to open, but it *does* work (at least for me!)
Guest montage Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Don't bother.. it doesn't work.. had it working once.. fc's the rest of the time
Guest HOOLIGAN Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 It does work ever time, as said it just takes a couple of goes to open.
Guest montage Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Your opinion.. it does NOT work as mine does NOT Edited February 24, 2011 by montage
Guest racingclub Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 mine isnt opinion, it is fact that I can view my Sling Solo & Classic via Slingplayer on the Vega. As I said, the app does take a few attempts to open, but then works fine.
Guest montage Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 £20 for I have to keep trying.. nah not for me
Guest marksmith34 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Installed the app.... It seems to always start on the 3rd attempt... Works ok on wifi. Only problem is the coloured buttons, they don't appear on the right side of the screen when i have navigated to the relevant menu page? Found i can use them as Custom 22-25 though.
Guest marksmith34 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Changed the remote from SKY+HD 1TB to SKY+HD and it seems to work fine now.
Guest trevor432990 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Changed the remote from SKY+HD 1TB to SKY+HD and it seems to work fine now. Hi Mark ... I've got the same set-up as you so when you say you changed the remote did this just fix the coloured buttons bit? Edited February 25, 2011 by trevor432990
Guest marksmith34 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Yes, i switched to the normal sky + hd box using the desktop sortware, everything works fine in the mobile version now. Well except for having to start the app multiple times.
Guest gavinp Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Received a software update yesterday to the Slingplayer software and it now seems to work fine on my Vega first time. :huh:
Guest barnston Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Just installed app on my Vega and HTC Desire and both work first time thankfully! Need a little help with Vega though. On HTC I have a "settings" button off screen which allows me to change aspect ratio/quality of stream etc. However as Vega has no such off screen button I'm stuck watching in 4:3 rather than 16:9. Screen presses on both devices just bring up settings for controlling skybox. Hoping there is a simple answer that shows up how clueless I am ! Received a software update yesterday to the Slingplayer software and it now seems to work fine on my Vega first time. :huh:
Guest barnston Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 Doh! Long press on back button brings up settings. Full screen @ last!
