Samsung DSB P990V (MY SKY HD, Italy)- slingbox solo

giusparta · Post by **giusparta** » Tue Jan 08, 2013 12:09 am

Hi, I'm new.
I have the following problem: I cannot make my slingbox solo recognize my Italian MY SKY HD. Model should be the Samsung DBS P990V

I have inserted the bin files and S2010 type for the PACE DS831NS receiver, and now I am at least able to command my receiver.

But the remote controller is not the right one and I cannot use all the functions of my My SKY (I cannot record anything).

Could you provide me the bin files and explain how to correctly set up the slingbox?

Thank you.

I assume you actually mean DSB not DBS ?

There is a Custom Remote for this box in the File section. Have you not tried that ?

Thanks, everything works now.

My only left doubt is this: the remote has all the functons but is not exactly the one i have at home, while if you look at some material you find on internet, like the movie in this page:

the remote shown is EXACTLY the one i have at home. How can they do that?

That takes quite a lot of extra work, I would have to rebuild the BIN file to match the new image. I'll give it a try, but at the moment i am on vacation in the Cayman Islands and the sea/sand/pool is very inviting

OK THX, for now it is fine like this, i was just curious to understand HOW everyone on youtube videos seems to have that remote an i was the only one apparently unable to get it.

It's because it is a Custom Remote, Everyone else must have identified a built-in remote that works for them. I has assumed you had already tried the various 'Sky' selections before posting here ?

yes but i cannot find that one

You shouldn't be looking for that exact box. 90% of the Sky boxes the world over use the same codes, so there are probably lots of the built-in remotes that would work and also give you the correct image. You just need to be patient and work through them

Hi, I have a problem.
I had to reinstall my slingbox but now the remote doesn't work anymore like before.
I used to have the colored buttons working but now they are not working anymore. I cannot understand why. I tried to search again DSB P990V but I only find the 990N and the colored buttons don't work. What can I do?

Are we talking about the Custom Remote or did you find a built-in one eventually ?

How are you installing the Remote, PC or Mac, Web or Desktop player ?

Custom remote, I was never able to find the built-in one.

PC, I am installing from the desktop player settings, like I did last time.

What 'device' are you selecting during the setup ?

Give me the URL of the BIN file you are using and I will try it on mine.

I couldn't find anymore the DSB P990V

That is your mistake. 'Other controllable device' does not support those buttons. Why didn't you use 'Satellite' as it tells you to in the instructions ?

giusparta · Post by **giusparta** » Thu Jun 13, 2013 9:01 am

But I have the option "other" only there.
If I put satellite receiver it ask me to put my ZIP code before showing the models.
If I use mine it gives me only like 10 names of devices ad nothing else, no "other" option
