I'm also having this problem, and I can't really use slingfront at all. I tried the replacement .exe with the delayed timer but I'm still not able to get it to work very well. I'm using a sanoxy remote and LM Remote keymap for my controls. I've found that the directional buttons on my remote work well, but it rarely registers a keystroke from the remote when I try to change channels or type in a channel number. It works maybe once out of every 20 tries. When I connect to my slingbox through the internet app, it works perfectly, but I love slingfront because I can integrate it into XBMC. My laptop keyboard and wireless keyboard all register correct keystrokes in slingfront if that helps any. Anyone have any suggestions? New keymapping program? Different remote possibly? What remotes are you guys using and if you're using a keymapper which one are you using? I might just have to pick up a different remote or use a different keymapper. Thanks!
