Performed a detailed test on the latest file and it's now very close to complete.

All the DVR functions work correctly as does channel up/down; brilliant :)

There are a few functions still not working as detailed fully in the spreadsheet sent to Al; specifically "Options", "DSTV" and Volume up ...

Test Results spreadsheet.

Could not immediately see how to attach a spreadsheet in this Forum; getting old or just tired :?
So mailed the test results to Al.
For the benefit of other Forumites, many of the functions work fine; some don't. I've provided full detail to Al with some change requests.

Hi, I am a South African "Explora" user with the same requirement as "zimisfit"

I am also using a Slingbox Solo in South Africa and want specifically to be able to change channels (P+ P-) remotely, as a minimum. Any other control would be a bonus.

I already have access to the SA Slingbox outside ...
