I agree that it would be probably a good idea for slimdevices to create a good functional "skin" to be used by a DPA

What I've seen from the Sonos controller, I find it a huge clunky interface I don't want to have in my house.

Never heard of that problem and I wonder how this happens as the system is in ROM memory... And I wonder what happens if the battery of the Sonos controller runs dead... from the website: "Rechargeable Li-ION Polymer, factory-replaceable"... So it probably will cost you an arm and a leg again... -- servies ------------------------------------------------------------------------ servies's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9496 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36259 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
