    An update to my post from earlier today. I was able to get the jad file onto my 8830 and open it from media manager. I launched the file and change all of the app permissions to "allow" and told it to start the download. It quickly failed with a "907 Invalid COD File not found" error. I'm not connected to any business servers and I've never had a problem installing apps (I installed google maps earlier today). Any ideas?

    How is some got this working and others do not. I have a Slingbox Pro HD, A Verizon Blackberry 8330 with Sprint .131 OS and all I can get is a blank screen with no sound. However I can control my Sling Box So that means I am loged in, Whats Up? This is getting frustraiting I have installed and reinstalled so many times including downgrading the OS then back to 131 I used the download for SPM from the top of the page is that correct?

    I tried downloading the .jad from the original post in this thread and it looks like that link is dead. I tried downloading it from the sling media mobile site and it says my deviced is not compatible. I'm running Sprint's .131 on my VZW 8330. Any advice on where/how to get the .jad?
    The release went final and out of Beta. They took down the Beta download. Here's the new link for the release version.

    got the sprint firmware installed. followed the instructions for the SPM. it connects to my slingbox pro-hd but shows no video and doesn't plays any audio. anything I'm missing? I'm on the bell mobility network, not sprint btw
    From what I understand, it has something to do with the ProHD and not being able to work.

    Thanks, JRSCCivic98!

    I've read in some other threads that using SPM violates the terms of VZW's contract, which doesn't make any sense to me for several reasons. Any one know for sure if it does or not?

    Can anyone think of anything that I can try short of wiping my phone?

    I guess it might be a possibility that its my PRO HD that is causing the problem of no sound and video. Is there anyone out there that has a Solo or just a pro I can try and connect to, I wont change anything just to see if I get the Dish or dss logo. (Temp login) That is the only way I know of to find out if this is the issue. Unless there is someone that has a 8330 with 131 and a Pro HD that they can connect to.
    It will be a real B***h if I get thru this to find out I waited on a Slingplayer for my BB and now its my HD Pro that keeps me from viewing...

    I have the SPM installed, I'm able to connect to my Sling account and see my Slingbox, and I have the same settings as in this thread. When I try to connect, though, I get a message saying "SlingPlayer cannot connect to your Slingbox. Please check the Internet connection on your phone and try again."

    I'm able to use the web on my Curve and I'm able to connect to my Slingbox when I log into sling.com on my laptop. I've tried installing/uninstalling the SPM and doing battery pulls before each step.

    Any ideas?

    Do you have to pay a monthly fee to use SPM?
    I have a slingbox solo connected to my digital cable box at home that I currently use my computer to view, it'd be SICK to watch tv on my storm...
    EDIT: I looked at the website, and the storm isn't supported yet

    There is a 30 day free trial. Then a one time software purchase of $25. No monthly fees.

    From what I hear, the Storm WILL run SPM (in curve compatibility mode). You must go directly to the URL for the curve (see CX's post above for the latest SPM version's URL) to bypass Sling Media's auto-devise-detection. This method has worked for several Storm users. Good Luck!

    You ROCK. I had a Palm Centro and switched to BB only to have my Sling not able to work. After your quick steps, I am up and running. Thank you all so much.

    Uninstall, reinstall, turn radio off, run spm, go to options, change from wifi to mobile, press end key, turn radio back on, go back to spm, login, connect.

    That's about the most advice I can give.

    This in on a sprint 8330
    I like to edit these instructions slightly - I got it to work on the Sprint 8330:

    - Uninstall
    - download latest version from post #54
    - install it
    - turn radio off
    - run spm, go to options, change from wifi to mobile, uncheck Show Roaming Status, press end key and save setting changes (this leaves SPM on running in the background, versus shutting SPM down)
    - turn radio back on
    - go back to spm
    - login, connect

    WORKS !!!

    I finally got mine working!!!!

    It turned out that I just had to update the port forwarding on my router. Search for "slingplayer cannot connect to your slingbox" in the forums at slingcommunity.com for more info if anyone's having the same problem.

    I can not get mine working. I have a Sprint 8330 with firmware 4.5.0.77

    Everytime i try to connect the phone restarts. Do i need to download the official sprint firmware or should mine be good enough?

    Just upgrade to the new Sprint firmware (.131). I dont think .77 supports streaming.

    So before I do this......Has anybody tried all of this with the new SPM? I am hesitant to get rid of the old version since I worked so hard to get it working.

    Isn't that the truth. My PRO-HD doesn't work on my 8330 either.

    So I got it working on my Sprint Blackberry 8330. The app tells me there is an updated version of the SPM app when I start up my app. Should I upgrade it? Will it work? Thanks!
