One of the features of the SlingPlayer is it gives you complete control over the devices you connect to your Slingbox. If you have a cable/satellite box, you can change channels or view the interactive guide. If you have a DVR or VCR, you can watch a recorded show or even program a recording from outside of the home. In order for the Slingbox to control your device, you will need to select the proper IR (infrared) code for your device. The Setup Wizard will help you find the right IR code.

A complete list of all the remote control codes that are in our database is at the bottom of this article. Take a look if you want to be sure yours is included.

While we include thousands of codes in our IR/Remote Control Database, there is always the chance that your device is not among them. Before giving up, try the following. You may just find a code that works!

• If the manufacturer is listed, but not your specific device, try similar devices from the same manufacturer. Often the same code works for different devices.
• If you don’t see your manufacturer at all, be sure to check the list for the service provider. For example, your TiVo might be manufactured by Humax, which isn’t on the manufacturers list, however TiVo is and the codes listed for TiVo work for all TiVo makes.
• As a last resort, choose “Other” from the list and try the codes listed there.

Note: New codes are included with each software upgrade.  Please monitor our website for available software updates.
