This is in response to Erland and Toby10. Thanks for your posts. First Id like to clarify that Im not complaining. If I were to complain, my posts would be a lot longer. My complaints have been expressed through the appropriate channels customer support. And my experiences and assistance have been expressed in bug reports. Ive had an open back and forth email dialogue with tech support.
Once I received the new radio and set it up, it became apparent that nothing had changed. My first stop was not to come to the forums. My first action was to report back to tech support. My second action was to post an update to one of the bug reports. My last action was to come here and simply report back since someone had expressed curiosity about what the hardware version number was. Sorry if some of my frustration emerged. With respect to the installed environment for this radio, I can tell you that my too Booms work flawlessly. My two receivers and my controller also work flawlessly. I know that doesnt mean anything but given that as a foundation, Id expect the radio to work also. With respect to the radio turning off after start up, it is a problem no matter what is playing when Im connected to MSB. This includes Sirius Radio, Pandora, any radio stream through RadioTime and anything I listen to through the Podcast Player. With respect to it turning on after I shut it off, I dont think it matters what it was playing when I last turned it off. With respect to the alarm, it is simply unreliable no matter what it is set to play when it triggers. I have a strong impression that the device becomes far more stable when connected to SBS rather than MSB. I know that I can avoid much of this by just running SBS. I enjoy being a beta tester. Ive beta tested software. I like looking for issues and solutions. Im not a programmer but I enjoy this stuff. Unfortunately, I didnt sign up to be a beta tester on this device. I realized a long time ago, however, that I am beta testing. The only thing that threw me a bit here is I simply have the feeling they asked me to send my radio in because they are at a loss. If they still believe this is a hardware problem it means their current level of communication with the community is not great. While I have not tried it myself, it seems pretty clear based on what I've read that many of my problems did not exist prior to 7.5. Doesn't sound like a hardware problem, but I don't know enough to make a firm statement. Im hoping they solve this also. If I hear anything productive from tech support, I'll post it here in the hope that it helps someone. -- ciarmer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ciarmer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79825
