Fix Your Database, Slingbox!

Ouch!

I'm in the process of setting up a cool Slingbox, but the stupid cable box doesn't respond as it should. According to this post, the Pace TDC577X actually should be listed as a Motorola DCT 6412. Thank God for the Interweb, or I'd be trying to figure this out for hours! I don't know who I'm more mad at here... Slingbox for not updating your DB, or digital cable providers for not having a dead simple USB interface that all devices can talk to. Come on!

I thought I'd use the sling while I am away from home - but I use it most of the time from my home office.

yeah, isn't it weird? Like you initially think you're getting a smart phone for accessing email on the road but really you're just using it to play spider solitare at the bus stop.
