I'm still having teething problems with my kitchen-sited Receiver: I can't get sync to work reliably with the SB3 in the living-room, and even playing it on its own tonight, the kitchen unit was bombing out from time to time.
I think that quite simply the signal in our kitchen is too weak, and there's probably lots of interference from the central heating. The controller's info screen was reporting a signal strength of 41 - not very good at all. Clearly, I have Network Issues (which usually means too few chickens sacrificed of late). But I've hit a separate issue. I've moved the kitchen SBR into the living-room, right next to the SB3. Now, using SqueezeCenter's status page, I can see that the signal strength is roughly similar (64 for the SB3, 60 for the kitchen) (*). But the Controller still says that the signal strength on the SBR is 41. Clearly, it's not updating. I've tried navigating away from the screen, and back again, but it's still 41, some 10 minutes after the move. So, how often is the Controller supposed to update its info? And is there any way to kick it into refreshing? As it stands, I can't rely on it for checking the signal strength perceived by any receiver, so will have to drag a laptop around to use SqueezeCenter - possible, but a pain! (Of course, this is assuming that SC is accurate...) I forgot to look in SqueezeCenter before moving the SBR to see if it agreed with the controller then; but I think when I looked yesterday the kitchen was significantly worse than the living-room. It's fun (in a strange way) to walk around the house with the controller's network page and see how the network signal-to-noise ratio varies; at least that's updated dynamically. It would be nice to have a single screen on the controller that showed the signal strength for a receiver (or, heck, for all receivers, if this can be done), and the network SNR. (*) Yes, these are a bit low; I was getting 70-ish on the SB3 before I moved the SBR beside it. It's picked up a bit since. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46313 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
