This is contrary to what is happening in other areas of streaming - namely video streaming. DirecTV now offeres a DVR setup where you can network your salettlite reveivers and access your DVR from any receiver on your network. This includes scechuling recording and playback of recorded material. It's basically a client/server architecture much like the current Squeezebox setup. I'm pretty sure Verizon offers a similar setup for FiOS. Since this concept seems to be gaining traction in an area where many people care (people seem to be more attached to their TVs than their sound systems), why would Logitech want to take a step backwards? -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 4 Booms, 1 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 Touch, iPeng on iPod Touch.
