Ok, you've got a point here for the Touch that might be used as a standalone device, but not really for the Radio which needs a server anyway. If you connect it to a local SBS the server will already have the required firmware at hand and push it to the device, maybe even downgrading it again. Both the Radio and the Touch could at least try to detect a local server first before they give up. And why does it necessitate the user to create a MySB account in the process? If there is a way to opt out of that, it should at least be noted in the user manual. bpa;510858 Wrote: > Try it (disconnect the modem wire from the wall socket).

Obviously you cannot play internet radio without an internet connection :) and some plugins that fetch information from the web (like the weather screensaver) will not work, but streaming music from your local harddisk should be perfectly possible. -- usch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ usch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74486 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
