One thing I do notice is that when I click the "-" button on my Apple Remote, the Slingbox in the menu bar is highlighted blue as the channel changes. When I click anything else ("+", "Play", "Forward", "Rewind") the Slingbox menu does not light up and I hear an "exclamation" sound bit, that I'm assuming is the sound when an invalid command/key is used.

As for giving access to my Slingbox, that would have to wait for another 2 weeks as I don't have access to the network settings on my router to set up the port forwarding settings.
