  • 5 phone calls, 2 hours, and I still can't get 3 ports opened
    Method #1: For the record you should be able to login to the comcast Gateway, click on Advanced, click on port forwarding, and open the ports there but instead there is a message from comcast saying that has moved to xfinity.com/myxfi. When you follow that link it says "Sorry this page no longer exists" and you get automatically redirected to https://internet.xfinity.com/. Source: 8 months ago
  • Not without the Xfi App
    No errors, just a page that reads: "Managing your home network settings is now easier than ever. Visit xfinity.com/myxfi to set up port forwards, among many other features and settings." When going to the suggested web site, a forward to the site https://internet.xfinity.com/ happens. This is the site to download the Xfi App. Source: over 1 year ago
  • "No devices connected to network" port forward failure
    I've been trying to set up a port forward through the app that is supposed to "simplify the user experience". Yet, due to an error in the app it is showing there are 0 devices available. This is untrue; 10.0.0.1 shows 6, all of which are able to connect to the internet. To add insult to injury, the hour I spent on the phone with a tech ended after I was guided to the now defunct port forwarding section in 10.0.0.1... Source: over 1 year ago
  • Port Forwarding error "We are having some trouble"
    For the last few weeks I've been struggling with this port forwarding error, "We are having some trouble." I can't access either the webpage setup (internet.xfinity.com) OR the Xfinity app port forwarding section, as both throw the same error. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Local IP not updating for port forwards
    Unrelated but why is internet.xfinity.com being taken away? If it's a corpo answer of security or ease of use I don't want to hear it. Source: almost 2 years ago

  • BEWARE -Sling not Honoring Promo Price
    " Your offer: You locked in a discount! Head to sling.com to view your full subscription and billing details. Please note: After 4 months, you will be charged the regular monthly price for your subscription unless you go online to cancel. ". Source: about 1 year ago
  • 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...

  • Astros-Phillies 2nd-least watched World Series behind 2020
    I watched the games through sling.com, so I guess I don't count? Source: over 1 year ago
  • sling.com not showing all subscription options on Chrome
    Ah, got it...there is a "MANAGE ACCOUNT" link on the bottom in the PC app but all it does is launch sling.com in whatever the default browser is so that is not going to be much help...maybe something for them to add in the future. Source: over 1 year ago
  • HARD RESET AFTER 11/9
    Upon reboot, it will reach a screen that says "Slingbox updated" which obviously is not possible since I blocked sling.com and there was no way an update could be applied in the amount of time the reboot took. Source: over 1 year ago
