Restore the Slingbox 500 to Factory Default Settings

Troppus Software, Echostar Communications

Summary: Echostar Communications, we migrated information from their other subsidiaries including Slingbox (not to be confused with Sling Media) so their content was available in our own app, Symbi. This was within the Symbi app and specifically for the Slingbox 500.

Description: Slingboxes required an Internet connection to work at home so they could then broadcast content available with your television system at home. They connected at the back up through 720p with the Slingbox 500, which was one of the newest models at the time it was written. As a result of relying on connectivity to satellite-based services, there were a lot of things that could go wrong, and resetting the box was the easiest thing one could do. It would also erase any settings if settings got corrupted, you needed to update the settings and resetting would be faster, or if you were preparing to sell the device.
