The non-geek in our house, the lovely Kate, kindly agreed to set up the Duet with absolutely no input from me. Here's what happened.
19:22 Non-Geek opens box 19:22 Geek opens _'beer' (https://www.belhaven.co.uk/secure-shop/product_details.php?product=1)_ 19:23 NG reads instructions. Geek doesn't understand this strange ritual 19:23 NG unwraps Controller 19:24 NG thinks the small white box contains chocolates. Is disappointed. 19:24 NG upwraps Receiver. Likes popping the bubble-wrap 19:25 NG fumbles with UK power adaptor thing 19:29 G offers to help - is rebuked 19:29 NG checks box again 19:32 G takes over - the power connector doesn't fit the wall-wart! 19:32 NG turns on the controller - it finds the wireless network 19:33 NG hates the clicking noise while entering the SSID 19:35 Controller is networked - Geek sent to t'internet forum to investigate power adapters 19:55 Geek finds a universal adapter in one of his many "boxes of cables 'n stuff". Rejoices! 19:55 Universal adapter will do 6v or 7.5v - the Logitech one says "6.8v". Hmmm... 19:56 Hunger gets the better of our intrepid duo! 19:58 Mickey G replies on the forum, but our heroes are more concerned with butchering a small courgette 20:18 _'Geek_takes_a_photograph' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=266757&posted=1#post266757)_ of the wall-wart on a wooden table.
