I need to analyze and troubleshoot your problem first bf I can tell u that.

Linda Cintron :

What device are you connecting the slingbox pro-hd to?

Linda Cintron :

I need to know this before I can help you

Customer :

The time warner cable box to a wireless router (Trendnet TEW647GA)

Linda Cintron :

ok

Linda Cintron :

Reboot the router and try again

Customer :

I got a message that the connection from the slingbox to the internet has been disabled and retried a few times.

Linda Cintron :

Did you reboot both devices, router first than the slingbox?

Customer :

No. I will.

Customer :

I did. I am again at the Initialize step and cannot get past that.

Linda Cintron :

I'm going to change this posting to another expert whom is familiar with the slingbox better than I. Not sure why its stuck. Wait for another expert.

Did you double check all the connections to the sling box and made sure it is on the network?

 

If all looks good, then I would do a reset on the SlingBox and start over again.
