WD TV Live Direct Connect To Service

I just got a WD TV Live for the sole purpose of using it for Slingplayer. I noticed the guide haas direct link buttons to the different online services. However, I did not see any of these commands when trying to setup an activity. Is there anyway to directly connect to a service?

My end goal is to have a Watch Slingbox Activity that automatically loads the slingplayer app.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The .CHANNEL SET command works for WD TV just like Roku (you’ll find various references to that in the forums). The difference is that getting the channel list out of the WD TV is less easy than Roku so we’ll list some common ones here as it’s likely the channel numbers are the same between boxes:

name = AccuWeather;
“service_id” = 28;
name = “AOL HD”;
“service_id” = 58;
name = CinemaNow;
“service_id” = 25;
name = ComedyTime;
“service_id” = 51;
name = DailyMotion;
“service_id” = 35;
name = Facebook;
“service_id” = 17;
name = Flickr;
“service_id” = 14;

“service_id” = 41;
