AFAIK it is perfectly possible to get the SB to connect without SSID
being broadcast, but if you hide the SSID, then you have to tell the SB
the name of the network to connect to and make sure you enter it
correctly.  

Is there a particular reason you want to hide your network name ?  

>From the wiki:

-SSID
The SSID is simply a name that you give your network. This can be
hidden, but is visible by default. Most people think that hiding it
does not increase security, and it can be inconvenient to hide it. If
it is not hidden, the Squeezebox will see the network automatically. If
it is hidden you will have to enter the name of the network, which
provides another place for a user to enter an address incorrectly. 

If have hidden your SSID, and are therefore entering it manually into
the Squeezebox, make sure you have the right Case - it is Case
Sensitive! (FRED is not the same as fred). -
