The correct answer to this post title should be: no, it officially doesn’t.

Nevertheless, even if your device doesn’t belong the the “supported sources” category, you’ll still be able to stream its video flow through a Slingbox. You’ll only miss the chance to remotely control it via a virtual remote control… which can represent a significant limitation!

Before giving up with an italian MySky HD receiver, I made some googling and visited a few forums. It worked.

Here’s a simple recipe in two steps…

1) After installing Slingbox Player on your computer, locate the folder which contains the included files for IR configuration. It should be:

C:\Program Files\Slingmedia\SlingPlayer\SBAV\ in Windows;
/Applications/SlingPlayer/Contents/Slingbox Setup Assistant/Contents/Resources/SBAV/ on a Mac.

2) Then search the Internet for a binary file built-up for your device, copy it into the folder above and insert the code included within the filename (e.g. 2012 for MySky HD) into the Slingplayer wizard when asked. The MySky HD file is available right here, within a large directory that will make you reach many others.

That’s it. Just warn any people you share the TV set with, because now you’re able to switch channel from everywhere in the world!
