I am a System and network engineer. Things like VOIP are running fine over the same cabling. There is no line of sight, but the floor between the devices and SB's is made out of wood with no (or at least not much) metal between them. Reception is great. maggior;646588 Wrote: > What about channel 10? Adjacent channels can cause problems too.

Lots of old neighbours who don't have networks. All networks in the vicinity are on channel 6, which is probably the factory default. I have also tried channel 1.

In Switzerland it's a company that collects the royalties. You need to pay a flat fee for playing music, recorded or radio. All music exists on CD, so there is no problem with copyright. Trying to explain the concept of Wireless Streaming to the company that collects the money blew their mind ;) Muele;646828 Wrote: > Regardless of all other (valid) advice, I would make a clean > installation of version 7.5.3.

Unfortunately. 7.5.3 had the sync issue too. I was hoping on 7.6.x I have ordered the Sonos and it should arrive today. I now have a couple of radios and a boom that I need to intergrate somewhere else ;) All been said, I am otherwise a happy Squeezeboxer. At home where I hardy ever use sync all works fine. I browse by music folder mostly and never expected tags to work properly, but it is nice when they do ;) For commercial use I think the Sonos will be better, but time will tell... -- Sike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2458 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89313 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
