Default Sony Location Free Base tv player on eurovox (sonys version of sling box)

This is a long shot i doubt anyone will know this,, basically i recently bought a sony location free device. It is a device which acts like a sling box u attach it to you cable sat box and to your router and you can view it anywhere u can get wi fi either on ure laptop or ure psp



iv got it working on the laptop but i cant change the channel! only on sky and pretty much evrything else i can change it except eurovox i can view but cant find the make on the remote control list to make it work

has anyone here got one of these and if so did they get the remote working from there laptop?

i got it working so you would be able to view from spain as long as you have wi-fi but 1 problem u cant change the channel! i worked out how to do it for my sky box but not eurovox

will have to resort to doing the program guide thingy where u set it to change the channel to programs u wanna watch

Hello,

I sell these, and no, it wont change the channel on the Eurovox by default .
Its pre programed for Sky, some normal cable boxes might work, but thats something ive never done.
there is no way to program it, from memory, but i will make a few enquirys for you
Good Luck!
