My suggestion is do both. Yes, stream sirius, but yes, use your computer with squeezebox server loaded it (and the computer on 24 hours a day) to do so. I wake up to Howard Stern every day via my squeezebox radio. You need to make sure you have a sirius PREMIUM account -- which lets you stream via a computer. You can then use EITHER squeezebox server or my squeezebox to connect to Sirius via your radio. The best method -- in my opinion -- is run squeezebox server on your PC (which is logged into my squeezebox) and keep your PC on. Less problems that way. As most problems appear to be with people who for some reason chosse to only use mysqueezebox. And this will all in turn make the alarm the most reliable. -- eap ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32788 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73246 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
