For me the Radio works very well as an alarm clock. Having said that, if you need an alarm clock, buy an alarm clock. Its cheaper and less things could go wrong. It is my opinion that ones setup is the biggest part of how well and how reliable the Radio functions as an alarm clock. I have a clean WiFi setup without interference. I run a dedicated SBS server 24/7. Besides, if I absolutely have to to up as in so I don't miss a flight, I set a backup alarm anyway. As a daily work week alarm clock, I have had a failed alarm in a years time which was probably either my fault or early firmware during Beta Testing (and it was also a Beta Radio). Since buying a consumer purchased SB Radio and running production SBS on my dedicated server, I can't remember having a failed alarm. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76699 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
