That would be because there isn't anything to see. TrickerThreeG does not install any icon. It just installs and works.

Anyone else having problems getting their Slingplayer to work remotely ? I cannot connect when I am out of my wifi network and on another wifi network even though y laptop connects with no problem . I am using a 2.2.1 (5h11) version Jailbroken 3G iphone .
I contacted Sling and they asked if I was using a jailbroken phone becuase they said it would not be supported if it was .
Please help , need it for the NBA Playoffs . Thanks

Slingplayer is not supposed to work when not on wifi. The only way to make it work that way is to be jailbroken so you can install TrickerThreeG. Install that, and it "tricks" Slingplayer to thinking that it is on wifi, even when it is only on 3G (or on Edge for that matter.)

But, with that in mind - no, I have no problems connecting at all to any of my four slingboxes. I can connect to any of them anywhere, whether on wifi, 3G, or even on Edge. Viewing is not optimal when on Edge, but it is certainly watchable. I can find no difference at all in the quality between watching while on wifi or on 3G.

Sorry Guys,

I hate to be the possible despoiler of bad news, but it looks like to me that Sling has quickly countered the Tricker ThreeG application or perhaps apple had found away to do so through the firmware update. I just updated 2.21, jailbroke, and installed the Tricker app which still removes the wifi error message in Sling, but instead I now get one that says "SlingPlayer cannot connect to your Slingbox. Please make sure your phone and Slingbox are connected to the Internet and try again." Perhaps they increased the minimum bandwith settings required so it won't play on anthing but a true WIFI. Perhaps Apple slipped in something into their latest firmware update. I just don't know. Are any of yours still working?

[confucious]

As 2.21 was out before Slingplayer and the Slingplayer app is still on V 1.0 so has not been updated I don't believe there is a general problem. Other people have Slingplayer working fine on 2.21. Have you got the latest version of tricker3G?

[mkejones69]

This makes sense what you say. Yeah version 1.2- the most recent version. I seem to have good signal strength too. I tried downloading it and removing several times. It definitely does what its supposed to as it changes the wifi only error message, but just doesn't connect when in 3G mode.

[coachballfirm]

When I'm out and about I get great signal over 3g to view sling but at times get what you are talking about. It shuts down due to no connection or some type of interferce....

SlingPlayer for iPhone has, and continues to work perfectly over wifi, 3G, and even on Edge. It seems that many of the users here are fairly new to using the SlingBox, and perhaps have never set up their SlingBox for remote viewing. If it is NOT configured properly, nothing you do, no matter what you have or haven't installed on your iPhone or your laptop, etc, will allow you to be able to watch remotely.

My first question is always this - have you EVER watched your SlingBox when NOT on your own home wifi network? Please, before posting here that the iPhone app doesn't work, take a quick trip to the Sling,com web site and get some very valuable help in configuring your SlingBox for remote viewing.

Have you gone thru setup assistant to configure remote viewing?
Make sure that the slingbox is connected to the primary DNS.

Connecting the slingbox to a second router is possible and will let you watch your box within that network but you won't be able to setup remote viewing.

Would this need to be done even though it ALREADY REMOTLY VIEWS WITH MY LAPTOP ?

I'm not yelling , just want to make sure you see that part of the question .
You see , my laptop picks up the signal at work with no problem , but my iphone doesnt . Both internet wifi connections are 3mb up 768 down .

[tsatryan]

The answer to that may have a lot to do with the security parameters that your laptop connects with to your wifi at your work. It may have different privileges assigned to it than your iphone does.

[Fallguy]

This is not the answer because it is like that on any wifi connection I go to .

BTW , I couldnt locate the router/modem that SlingPlayer has in its list of supported routers . This is why I had to chat with their tech and have them set it up remotely . I am afraid to go in and screw things up by running that set up assistant again , because every time I did it would always ask for my brand and model router and I have Verizon dsl and Sling does not list the model (Westell 7500).

Anybody have problems when running setup assistant and they dont list your model router ?
