I just received an email from Sling to upgrade my Slingbox Solo to another unit. I tried hooking up the Solo to my Directv Genie Client some time ago, but was having problems with the internet connection, thought something might be wrong with the Ethernet Connection on the Slingbox Solo. I am thinking about getting the MI, which has wireless capability, but I want to make sure that this will work, as my Internet and Spare TV with Genie Client is in a room that is seldom used. I have already purchased in the past the special cable that is required. Can anyone give me some advice?
