The remote control on my laptop works great when I want to adjust the sound level, or even mute the sound. What doesn't work are the rest of the functions on the remote - changing channels, using the button to look at the Channel guide, etc. What do I need to do to get the rest of the buttons working correctly on the screen remote?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance,

It sounds like the device brand/model configured within the Slingplayer might be not precisely matched to the source device connected to your Slingbox. I would suggest looking at what you have set up. What type of device do you have connected to your box?
Also, confirm that the IR connection cable from your Slingbox cleanly points to the IR receiver on your source device.
