Ok let me elaborate. I use SB 1/2/3 and control them via various touch screen WiFi units. I am 100% happy using my own WiFi units as they replicate the whole of the slimdevices server screen and give me everything I need on one screen. Just me, but I prefer this to the new SBC, which if I purchased would only be used to sign on new SBRs. Ergo if Robin Bowes can work on a way to authenticate new SBRs via a PC I would be 100% happy and buy new SBRs to add to my collection (and likely upgrade older SBs). Thanks for the response:) -- IRJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IRJ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7031 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
