To follow up, if anyone is interested.

>From Sling:

"Thank you for contacting Sling Media support.

If the network light and the red "N" are both flashing
continuously the
Slingbox is stuck in the reset cycle due to either a hard or firmware
problem.

You can call our helpdesk so we can troubleshoot your issue and log all
needed details if to issue a replacement if applicable. Our technical
support line is available Monday - Friday 09:00 AM to 08:00 PM GMT @
0207 294 0157."

I phoned and they said, after trying a 20 seconds reset, its broke!
They are sending me a replacement, free of charge, as long as I return
the old faulty box within 30 days.

Can't say fairer than that!
