Re: Sling Box incompatible with Cox devices???
I guess I'm going to bite the bullet and order the converter. My Cox box has composite video outputs so I connected those to the composite inupts on the Slingbox. It's working with a Comcast remote but the picture is not very good, somewhat distorted. Hopefully the component inputs will solve that. Thanks so much for your help2Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sling Box incompatible with Cox devices???
Hi Ken Thanks for your posts....question on the HDMI Component adapter: does the USB power cable come with a wall outlet? Assuming it doesn't, are you powering the adaptor via USB from your cable box? Also thanks for the post to the Slingox forum. I will check it out to see if my Cox box is there.

If you read what Ken wrote above, it could be the lack of component video output on the Contour box. He got his to work using an HDMI / component video adapter and he got Slingbox to recognize a Comcast box in the configuration setup. I'm waiting on an adapter and will try the same setup.0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sling Box incompatible with Cox devices???
Hi Ken I understand your wiring now. With my previous Verizon hook up, I didn't split the HDMI cable. I had component video from the cable box out to component video in on the Slingbox and HDMI out of the Slingbox to HDMI in on the TV and that worked fine. I found an adapter without the HDMI out for <$20 which should allow me to replicate the Verizon set up I had. As long as Sling recognizes the Comcast box, I should be good to go. I'll let you know when the adapter arrives. I'll let you know when the adapter arrives. I don't know how to get you my email address without putting it here (i'm technologically inept)!! If you do, let me know and I'm happy to share that with you. Thx for your help, I really appreciate it. Mike0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sling Box incompatible with Cox devices???
Hey Ken, I hadn't seen your second response when I responded to your first. I will try a Comcast box once I get the adaptor. Does your cable box have 2 HDMI outputs and that's how you went direct to the TV with HDMI? The adaptors I'm seeing have only the component output? Thx so much for your help! Mike1View0likes0Comments
