Sorry to ask the same question again but how can you change channels from a distance with your BlackBerry? Is there an application that installs on your BlackBerry that emulates your remote? Is it browser based?
You can't use the SlingPlayer on a Blackberry yet. That's what we're discussing here. The Slingbox is a box you connect to your home TV and your internet connection at home. It bascially makes your TV signal a streaming video signal that can be accessed on the internet. You have to access it with an application called SlingPlayer (for laptops and desktops) and SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows (and now Symbian) phones. It controls your TV via the internet connection and yes, it is via an infrared connection you put on your TV or DVR that controls the channels.
