Hmm what are the definition of a good DLNA client? most TVs cant do nothing unless the server pampers it and convert everything to 1-2 formats that the TV can handle. I can see why you question the LMS project and in part I agree with you. People in the know are welcome to educate me; but from my understanding UPnP/DLNA is a very basic protocol. To simple for the XBOX extender functionality and even for Squeezebox. One reason to implement it is because it is a buzz word that you need to have on you feature list; because people thinks that they need to have it. A similar story; Bang & Olufsen have been doing multiroom solutions for decades with their Beolink. Back in 88-90 the Japanese companies suggested to make a common interface to be used to interconnect and control the different parts of your hifi setup. B&O look at the draft and reject it. Way to simple for their usage. Anyway someone in Logitech think they need too have it, so who are we to argue -- slate Main: Receiver (Audiocom) -> Beresford Caiman+ (Gatorized) -> Carver A-500x -> B&W 704 Office: Receiver -> Luxman L-210 -> Stax SR84 Pro/Superlux HD668B Server: Zotac IONITX-A, 4 GB, 1 TB WD EADS, Win7 w. 7.6 (SQLite w.
