Slingbox SOLO: Line or Distortion at Bottom of Player Window



In some situations, when watching TV on your home network, you might notice a thin, separate line of video or a small band of blurry video at the bottom of the SlingPlayer window.  You might first see this after installing a firmware update for your Slingbox.

It might look something like this:

Here's something you can try that might clear it up.

If you've already configured more than one AV source to work with your Slingbox, just go to the SlingPlayer Slingbox menu, select a Video Input source that your Slingbox is not currently using, and start watching it.  Then switch back.

If you don't have more than one AV source, just quickly run through the Audio/Video Setup, select an unused connection, and configure a "Non controllable device" so that you can switch back to your TV source.


If these steps don't help, we sincerely apologize.  We're investigating a permanent solution and we'll post more information here when it's available.
