When you first connect and turn on the SlingCatcher, you are guided through a Welcome setup routine. Select your desired display resolution, then the SlingCatcher will launch into an update routine. For us, this was tricky and required some tech support from Sling Media. The device refused to take a DHCP address from our Verizon FiOS Actiontec router and the SlingCatcher won’t allow you to input manual network settings until completing an initial DHCP connection—which is a design drawback, in our opinion. However, we plugged a D-Link DIR-655 router into our Actiontec router and then connected the SlingCatcher into the D-Link, which solved the problem. This is not the first such problem we’ve faced with the FiOS router. According to Verizon, a newer router from Westec is being rolled out, so inquire about this with Verizon if you’re in this particular situation. Other DSL and cable Internet routers shouldn’t have this problem.
