I welcome all of your questions – thanks.

It varies. Sometimes it works fine but when “snoozed” it does not
re-trigger. Sometimes it gives the fall back alarm. Sometimes it
triggers properly but shuts off after a few seconds.

All of the issues I have are when connected to MSB.com. I rarely am
connected to SBS. And SBS is rarely running. When the alarm triggers in
the morning, there is no computer on. The radio is connected directly to
MSB.com No other players are up and running when this happens. Not sure
if it is a network connection problem. I’ve often done testing of the
alarm when the radio is within five feet of the wireless modem and the
reception is listed as 100%. I have not tried it with an Ethernet
cable. 

When it turns on by itself, it is usually within just a few seconds of
being turned off (switched off to screen saver). That’s at a point
where there are no other players on and no computer on.

I don’t shut it down completely unless I have to (which frequently I
must since the “art” gets frozen on the last thing that has played –
which is one of the other bugs). Should I be shutting it down
completely whenever I shut the radio off?
