ViP 722K - Sling Adapter Will Not Work

No red light! I pluged in a few times and each time I get the message on the TV saying "Sling installed now enjoy"

 

The sling came with some information sheets. One of them is titled "Troubleshooting", have you checked all the items on that sheet and run the connection test already?

 

Hello Marry,

Can the Sling be pluged into a powered USB hub? Since the 722K only has one USB in the back and I am using an external harddrive for the same unit and its working in the powered hub?

 

Hi!! Yes, the receiver will not power any USB devices, so it should be in a Powered USB hub!

 

Thay is how I have it (pluged into the powered hub) no red light on top of slig. The harddrive is also pluged into the powered hub and works.

 

Did you run the connectivity test?

 

Yes I have internet and phone line conected.

I found the watch live tv: installed what it needed to install. I get "Error 31"

 

Receiver is in dual mode.

If I plug the sling to the only usb plug in the back og the 722k red light comes on.

 

It is connecting properly without the HUB connected?

 

I did not try that, but I Have one recording going on would that stop the sling from working if its in "Dual mode"? If the external harddrive works in the powered hub should not the sling?

 

Is the receiver currently recording at TV2 because that could be exactly the issue? I have mine connected to a powered USB Hub with the external hard drive so that should not be the problem. I have not had any reports of it not working with any particular hubs.

 

yes, it was recording on TV2. That recording has stoped and I still can't get the sling to power up?

 

going to try it pluged direct to the back of the 722k now!

 

Ok, let's bypass the HUB for now. Please connect the sling to the USB port on the front of the receiver. Let's get it working, then we can work on the hub issue. Also please place the receiver in the single mode! Thanks!

 

Hello Marry,
I did not get your last message before doing what I did.

I plugged the sling directly to the back USB and it is working! Do you still want me to try the front USB? I really don’t know why I cannot use the sling in the powered hub since the external harddrive works in it. I am able to see all recorded movies on the harddrive using that hub on internet. It’s just not turning on the sling. Any ideas on why the sling is not working in the powered hub?

 

No, you are good. I just wanted to keep it simple. it works so now can you try a different port on the hub. Try the one that has the EHD as we know that one works already
!

 

No go!

It’s a six plug USB by Belkin and none on them powers the sling. I even unplugged the harddrive to see if the hub had power issues.

 

I am sorry! I do not understand why it is not working in the hub either. I would hook it up and I will try to research the hub issue further. Do you have a model# on the Belkin Hub?

 

the hub is old about three years old. Does the hub need to be 2.0 or higher. Just over thinking maybe.

 

Hello again, its a Belkin powered hub. 7-port hub 1.1 model F5U027

What speed in the 722K usb?
