Download and Install Soap2day On Firestick.So, if you have a similar problem, try going through a new installation process and see if it fixes the problem, even if the setup process looks like it didn't work. When I returned to my rental, I was also able to connect with my FireStick, and all the functions work. Weirdly, even though I couldn't get it to work on my laptop, my Dad was once again able to connect fine with his FireStick. Then my Dad texted me to say thanks for fixing the Slingbox. I gave up and figured the Slingbox was dead. In other words, pressing the 'channel up' button on the Slingbox remote on the laptop caused the light to blink on the Tivo, but it wouldn't actually change the channel.

I could also see that using the Slingbox remote to change the channel or go to guide was 'seen' by the Tivo, but did not result in the Tivo doing anything. I got to the point where it said I was connected, and it told me that the streaming video appears in the window below, except there was no video. Last weekend I visited the house where the Slingbox is and tried to start over from scratch and reinstall the Slingbox like new. Even searched for the word 'invalid' on this subreddit and didn't get anything relevant. Looked around the internet and couldn't find anything on this problem. I can connect fine with my laptop but not the FireStick. This morning I tried to connect with my FireStick and now I get the same 'invalid state' message. I could still connect fine with my FireStick but he couldn't. Even asked someone at the house to unplug the Slingbox and plug it back in. Had him restart his FireStick and reinstall the Slingplayer app on his FireStick but still didn't work. I was able to connect fine with my FireStick so I figured the problem was on his end.

Please reset/reconfigure the box through. 'Alert - This Slingbox is in an invalid state. Last night my Dad said he was getting a message when he tried to connect via his FireStick: My Dad and I both use FireSticks most of the time, and sometimes I'll connect with my laptop or iphone. Its connected to my in-laws' TV and I share the Slingbox with my Dad to watch sports. I have an M1 Slingbox that has been working like a champ for the last two years.
