This ZIP file contains 2 BIN files.  

V2010_PL.bin	for USA (NTSC) Slingboxes
V2010_RV.bin    for non-US (PAL) Slingboxes

(These instructions assume you have installed the standalone Slingplayer on your PC/MAC, as you cannot install Custom Remotes from the Web-based player.  If you do not have the program see http://support.slingbox.com/go/windows-download-desktop-us)

PC Version:
-----------
Put the files into your C:\Program Files\Sling Media\Slingplayer\SBAV\ folder.
 
Mac version:
------------
Put the files into your /Applications/SlingPlayer/Contents/Slingbox Setup Assistant/Contents/Resources/SBAV/ (Note that The Contents dirs won't show up unless you do a "Right-Click -> Show Package Contents" when navigating into an app's "Contents" directory.)

Now go into Slingplayer and run Setup Assistant and 'Configure Video Sources'.  Work through the screens Making sure you select 'Standalone DVR ' as the device type.

This time use 'Other' as the Manufacturer and the Model and in the next screen scroll to the bottom of the Code numbers, select 'Custom' and then type V2010 (NOT v2010, the code is case-sensitive) in the newly appeared Custom Code window.  Then complete the setup as normal.  Note that some devices (Comcast DTA for example) do not support Power On/Off so will faile the power test.  Just ignore it and carry on.

If you have problems do NOT just report back it 'doesn't work', that is totally useless for someone trying to understand what is going on.  So please report the following:

1.   Was there any error message after you typed in the Code and tapped the Power button ?

2.   Did you give the Power command plenty of time to react ?  (I have a DVR that takes about 6-8 seconds to power up/down)

3.   After completing the setup (regardless of whether the Power button worked) do any of the other buttons work ?

4.   Have you used a Digital Camera to confirm the IR Blaster is actually firing when you tap the Power button ?  (Watch the tip of the IR Blaster thorugh the viewfinder while you tap a button.  You should see a white (not red) flash) 

5.   Have you experimented with the placement of the IR Blaster ?  On some devices this is critical so don't give up too quickly.

I have mapped all the logical keys.  Extra functions have been mapped to the Custom Menu on the remote (Tap the Menu button at the top of the remote and select Custom) as follows:

Custom 10:	Repeat
Custom 11:	Source
Custom 12:	Shutdown
Custom 13:	Suspend
Custom 14:	Standby
Custom 15:	SubTitle
Custom 16:	Timersee
Custom 17:	TV Mode
Custom 18:	Zoom
Custom 19:	Caps
Custom 20:	Filemode
Custom 21:	Angle
Custom 27:	Audio
Custom 28:	Reboot

And to answer the obvious question, you can NOT rename the Custom menu options to their function, SlingMedia do not allow that.  The best thing to do is use Slingplayer V1.5, which allows you to add them as Custom Buttons, with icons, at the bottom of the screen. 

And note you cannot change the remote 'skin'. Slingmedia also do not allow changing that so you are stuck with their generic design.

If you wish to modify the remote I have also included the .rmdu source file for the RemoteMaster program.
