Email is fine for upgrade or new product announcements but don't clutter my Boom clock radios with it.
Ever see a Boom go out of sync with its front panel or remote? You might be trying to adjust the volume but it appears not to respond. A minute later it is blasting at full volume because it queued up all the key presses. Last time I had this problem there were issues at the Logitech end. If there are problems on their network causing this type of degradation that impedes the operation of the player, I would like the front panel display to alert me so I can decide whether to alert Logitech or ride it out. Thats a useful notification. In a mixed system, I have diffrent expectation of a Boom than a Transporter or Duet. I want the Boom to function as basic internet radio that does not wake me up with the ghost of removed alarms. When my wife turns the volume knob, she expects the volume to increase (exactly then) And the players, I just want them to stream reliably. Are we there yet? Don't care about keeping up with the Joneses. Otherwise I prefer the upgrades and 'innovations' to be transparent to me. Why should my Boom self-update its firmware unless I ask it to or grant permission? The 7.4 document on the web site suggests it is necessary to upgrade to 7.4 to connect to your network but the Boom firmware self-updates and reverts when you switch back and forth between connection types in the presence of 7.3.3. So what exactly does 7.4 install package do for Boom beyond stopping the firmware swapping frenzy? If you want to make the Boom do something useful in response to connection status, why not have the Boom fall back to your network when SC is off or to SC when your network is degraded? Since there are no separate provisions for upgrading individual products, you are forcing users to upgrade them all at once. Upgrade to solve a problem in one unit (dismal Duet behavior) got me rebuffering issues on my Transporter. Perhaps a consumer should only own one type of Logitech product and then all would be well. It could all be explained in a Wiki. Guess Sean knew when to bail. -- DotSystem ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DotSystem's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15213 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68521 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
