Before switching to full-screen.
This warning appears when you attempt

option to stop seeing the warning.
•
When Control Mode is enabled.
The SlingStream Control Mode
technology gives you rapid response when you are changing channels or
otherwise controlling your cable/satellite box or DVR. However, this faster
response time may result in temporarily jittery video. You can choose to
have this alert display to remind you to turn Control Mode off to return to
normal viewing mode.
•
When video quality problems are detected.
SlingPlayer can detect if your
video quality has problems. It can also alert you to such problems if you
enable this option. Deselect this option to disable this feature.
“Other options”
•
Automatically reconnect to last Slingbox when starting SlingPlayer.
Select this option, and whenever you launch the software, SlingPlayer
reconnects to the last Slingbox you were watching. If you only have a single
Slingbox, you may want to select this to streamline launching SlingPlayer.
•
