SlingPlayer disconnecting after 3-4 minutes

I’m having issues with my both WDTV Live. The slingplayer disconnects after 3-4 minutes of use.
I dont have problems using a PC, Phone ou Tablet. I have tested multiple slingbox devices and players. Looks like something happened after the last 2 updates.

Could you please help?

Have you tried resetting the media player back to factory settings.

Are you able to test a previous firmware to see if it is an update issue?

See the link below for information on how to roll back to the previous firmware.

I tried 2 different versions down and I’m having the same problems.

 I see other people with the same issues here http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Live-Plus/SlingPlayer-no-longer-works/td-p/529024/page/4
