Whilst I follow the logic for TV programmes, there are two other use cases. A) music video, selected track by track as playlist. [not me personally but I see many people who use MTV rather than traditional radio] B) remote audio from tv, I'd quite often like the tv audio distirbuted (and synchronised) to another room (kitchen) I can do without the picture for brief (fetching a drink) or even extended (making dinner) periods but would like to hear whats going on. Squeeze has the multi-room sync sorted (I don't suffer the control issues as my players are always all sync'd togetehr). Unfortunately this use case could extend to a second tv in the kitchen and the need for sync'd video (because sound overlaps it must be sync'd and then you want video sync'd to the sound). I don't think the second is a killer function because most people won't consider it for first purchase. however as people start down the streaming/media hub route, they will learn what works and what doesn't, this may then become an issue. -- DigitalMitch 2 * SB3, 1 * Boom, 2 * SBR, 1 * Radio controlled by IR, SBC and iPeng on iPhone 7.4.1 running on WHS on HP MediaSmart (EX470) http://www.last.fm/user/digimich ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72512 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
