If you have the 1.0 version of the player for an iPhone it will work on a iPad2.

I have a slingbox pro and the new player for the iPad will not work with it.

I got a PRO and just installed the IPAD slingplayer on my IPAD2. Says the PRO is not supported. Works on the iphone slingplayer, but the resolution is poor.

Is there a way to upgrade to firmware from a PRO HD (I got PRO firmware 1.4.20 now)
