Not surprising, as you are not even close to following the instructions. In particular, I say to NEVER select Miscellaneous as a Device Type, and also that if you have a code below 2000 you MUST select the manufacturer. So you should be selecting Cable > RCN > Custom > ...

So try again but follow the instructions. The latest version is at http://placeshiftingenthusiasts.com/how ... -slingbox/

The wizard that I see, not match with the described on the article you are indicating.

When i select RCN, the manufacturer list only includes the list of models and the "other" option. If I select the "other" option, then the list of codes is enabled, but there are no way to select a customized remote

I attach screenshots

I have tested the new remote and I found that some customized keys are mapped on the virtual keys and the others customized are absent

Not the most helpful reply I have ever had. 'some' ? 'others' ? How am I supposed to work with that ? Give me a break :D

Please tell me EXACTLY what is not working or working incorrectly or needs changing.......

Ok

I will try to describe with text the thing I tried to represent on the image I attached to my comment 01-aug-14

I would like that the customized keys of the first slingbox RCU were re-distributed on the new one, as following:

RCN-Synergy RCU---------- Slinbox RCU
PPV key-------- Custom / custom 15 key
day left key-------- Custom / custom 10 key
day right key-------- Custom / custom 11 key
music key-------- Custom / custom 14 key
help key-------- Custom / custom 20 key
vol up key-------- General / vol up key
vol down key-------- General / vol down key
mute key-------- General / mute key
VOD key-------- Custom / custom 19 key
live key-------- Custom / custom 17 key
aspect key-------- Custom / custom 16 key
pip on/off key-------- Custom / custom 01 key
pip swap key-------- Custom / custom 18 key
pip + key-------- Custom / custom 13 key
pip - key-------- Custom / custom 12 key
M key-------- Custom / custom 21 key

Now, the following keys are absent on the the last provided RCU:
- last key
- Custom / custom 15 key
- General / mute key
- Custom / custom 16 key
- Custom / custom 12 key
- Custom / custom 13 key
- Custom / custom 21 key

Other findings:
- On RCN synergy control, the last key have the function of the OK key
- The General/ vol+/- keys could be assigned to the vol+-/ keys of the Synergy RCU

OK, lots of confusion here. Please ignore the Custom business, even I cannot remember those.

I actually mapped the correct function on each button as I could see it. I assume 1=1, 2=2, Ch+=Ch+.... and the rest of the 'normal' buttons are OK ?

So please tell me EXACTLY which button is not carrying out the function you want and which function it should operate.

In the context of "normal" buttons, everything works fine, except:
- Last (back key)
- Vol +/- (these are associated with the player, but does not to the control the STB)
mute key (that is associated with the player, but not with the control of the STB)

The Vol and Mute buttons are correct, that is how Sling have designed the system, nothing we can do about that.

So what about the rest of the buttons ?

PPV
Music
Help
Favourite
A, B, C , D
VOD
List
PIPs

I have two problems, basically:
1) The back key is not mapped (for example on the last key one)
2) The cutsom keys are relevant but are not mapped

Sorry, forgot the Back key problem, I will fix that.

You are talking about Custom again, which means absolutely nothing. BE SPECIFIC !!

What functions are not mapped and where do you which button do you want them mapped to ?

Sorry, maybe what you expect is that I specify the original names instead of the customization ID, something like:

RCN-Synergy RCU---------- Slinbox RCU ---------------------Original RCU ---------- IR trans code
PPV key------------------ Custom / custom 15 key----------- Mosaic --------------- [mosaic][T]22[D]113112144151131121441511311214410
day left key------------- Custom / custom 10 key----------- Day+ ----------------- [day_left][T]5[D]11000001110001
day right key------------ Custom / custom 11 key----------- Day- ----------------- [day_right][T]5[D]11000001110010
vol up key--------------- General / vol up key------------- vol+ ----------------- [vol+][T]5[D]11000001010101
vol down key------------- General / vol down key----------- vol- ----------------- [vol-][T]5[D]11000001010110
mute key----------------- General / mute key--------------- mute ----------------- [mute][T]5[D]11000001010111
aspect key--------------- Custom / custom 16 key----------- Options -------------- [options][T]23[D]0030020400500300204001
pip + key---------------- Custom / custom 13 key----------- Subtitle ------------- [subtitle][T]17[D]030102004350300020043503000200430
pip - key---------------- Custom / custom 12 key----------- Audio ---------------- [audio][T]5[D]11000001110011
M key-------------------- Custom / custom 21 key----------- Parental ------------- [parental][T]29[D]14297AB33633533633D08C33633533633E0

If you need the output provided by Barf I can describe them
