In the Options screen, you can:

  • Change Device (Such as changing from your cable box to another device connected to your Slingbox, like a DVR)
  • See Gesture Tips.
  • Access Help.

  • Stretch the onscreen image to fill the screen.
There are other options available that vary according to the video device that you're connected to. To see these other options, just swipe horizontally.
