Sadly the 'browsing experience' isn't the deciding factor for most
people - Ease of use is higher on the list. 
And Logitech's products are bottom of the list in that area for most
non-tech mortals when it comes to that. 

I've had Logitech products for years - currently Duet, Boom, the
docking station, webcam...but I'm coming to the end of the road with
the Duet/Boom/server combo. 

Especially when I compare it with the ease of use of Apple Airplay. 

I'm even looking at moving to Sonos, as their prices have
(unsurprisingly) dropped. 

The Logitech sync bug which has hit my setup (meaning I can't run it in
sync!) is the final straw - that's after the Spotify buffering problems,
the server upgrades which simply didn't work (I stopped ugrading to
latest versions to get round that one), the BBC iPlayer issues - all
magnificently fixed by Triode but which just shouldn't have happened in
the first place, the remote control units which gave up the ghost... 

I've always received good support and advice on these forums but IT
JUST SHOULDN'T BE NECESSARY for a consumer electronic device. 

It saddens me to say, but I think this particular technology avenue is
a dead end. 

Please convince me otherwise by pointing me to a glossy roadmap showing
some fantastic upcoming products and/or a commitment to resolve what
looks to me like some internal software development issues and/or a
statement of support from senior Logitech sales/marketing. Until I
start to see some of that then I will continue my planned drift away...
