Just Google it. You don't need me to tell you that

Where then do you go if all links seem to refer you back to the website that no longer works as previously discussed ? ( even when you google it )

OK, I give up, I'll do it for you. Google "Slingplayer Desktop'. Top of the list is the Slingbox.com Player URL
https://www.slingbox.com/Products/SlingplayerApps.aspx

Go there, scroll down to Desktop Apps and download it.

I also have a pro-hd and have tried to upload custom bin file using the slingplayer desktop software with no success, hope someone finds a solution to this and I will update should I find a work-around

OK I've done it and this is what you do...

I had to use the original slingplayer software Version 2.0.4, after you go to the custom option....
In the custom field type the name of the file (without the .bin extension)
Click the Power button, and the Slingbox Setup Assistant locates the file in the SBAV folder and copies it to your Slingbox. Then it sends a power signal to your video source. Your device should turn on (or turn off, if it is already on).
Once that’s done, you’re good to go then just finish the setup.

Cheers

Can't help then, it works fine for me so there must be a problem with your PC.

just type "Cxxxx" depends on file,
use capital letter if necessary depends on file name,
then press the power button not the enter key

good luck and Merry Christmas

Here's a direct link to version 5.0.0.83 of the Windows SlingPlayer Desktop app:
