slinger crashes because of IR commands

[dgtl]

my slinger started crashing. It calls the remote control then stops the connection.

Looks like your slingbox lost network connection (or just died).

Double check your video input connections. I've seen this when there is no signal on the selected input. OR
You really have a hardware issue like garabik suggests. The number one thing to try is a new A/C power adapter, this is the most frequent failure. I've replace two of my slingbox supplies in the last few years. If that doesn't work you're probably out of luck.

FYI: New Power Adapter from Amazon fixed my sling box issues. Good strong network and working solid.
