best way to get slingbox viewer *and* hulu/cbs/etc.
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 4:00 pm
Just got my Revue from Amazon. My main goals for it are:
1) use it as slingbox viewer
2) view tv shows from online sites like hulu.
From reading through the forum and the slingbox site, it seems that the slingbox app is available in the latest factory build (3.1?). And from forum reading, the revue must be soldered/rooted before first use in order to install the modified flash player and id strings needed to view hulu/cbs/etc. From that rooted state, you can't update to factory 3.1, so I wouldn't have slingbox viewer.
What is the best path through all this?
Note: I can't go the PlayOn route because this is for my mom's house, which doesn't have a box available to be a PlayOn server.
Thanks!
