• block 70.42.244.140 port 5678 on your routers asap

  Have been digging a little more in the little time I have spare at the moment - Seems DNS blacklists/redirect are not fully successfull. Even though I have redirected the domains sling.com, slingbox.com and slingmedia.com to a local "HoneyPod" on my lan it still appears that the slingbox is trying to talk to 67.148.153.136 and 67.148.153.250 on the internet which it can not get to since I shutdown all internet...

• block 70.42.244.140 port 5678 on your routers asap

  I just blacklisted slingmedia.com and slingbox.com in my DNS so the boxes can not resolve it but that is pretty bad behavior for a company to do that! Source: over 1 year ago

• Audio/Video Un-syncing

  This has become a little worse with the Slinger server, but I think this is an issue with the Slingbox itself as I see the issue with their application. But I see a lot of cases where the audio gets ahead of the video. Have others seen it? Or does anyone have solutions? One of the solutions on slingbox.com is to factory reset the box.

• HARD RESET AFTER 11/9

  Also, after my first apparently failed attempt at trying a factory reset with no access to sling what I did was put the slingbox and a PC behind a cheapy old router I had so I could just unplug the uplink cable to make sure nothing was leaking up to the internet. Just concerned about what your router is doing when blocking "slingbox.com" does it just do a DNS lookup and block that IP? In my packet capture there's... Source: over 1 year ago

• HARD RESET AFTER 11/9

  It appears that the automatic update comes from some path on sling.com because blocking slingbox.com alone still allowed a firmware update. Source: over 1 year ago

• Where to find actual good Netflix torrents?

  Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand, if you just go to netflix.com and subscribe to their 4k content you don't get the 4k video, you need a streaming box or some kind of dedicated program. Perhaps to stop pirates... But think about how many poor sods are paying for quality they don't even get. Source: 5 months ago

• Cant access some sites

  Anyone have issues accessing some sites? Just to let everyone know its happening on every device in my home not just one. For example I cannot get to imdb.com I get 403 error but I can get to netflix.com. I can get to all sites if I connect to a vpn first. So its something with atts network but not sure what.

• Habit

  Man, been clicking the dvd.netflix.com on my folder to check on queue at least once a week out of habit but deep inside knowing it's not coming back. Muscle memory sucks. Source: 6 months ago

• Trim extension (Chrome, Firefox) not showing Metacritc reviews anymore

  I love the Trim extension for Chrome/Firefox to show reviews of Netflix movies inside the netflix.com site. However, several weeks/months ago, the Metacritic reviews stopped showing up. The developers haven't replied on the extension review system, but I'm wondering if anyone knows why it's happening. Source: 6 months ago

• Netflix.com Failed to add smart Route list
