Re: [slim] Anyone experience of dead remote?
For anyone else reading this thread, who has similarly experienced a dead remote... Bas from Logitech has to be applauded for picking-up on my predicament on this forum. He offered alternative solutions to my problem. This was very much appreciated. He's also sorted out my log-in problems on the Logitech website. Overall, this has been an excellent customer experience from Logitech. In the end, I didn't take up Bas' kind offer - as AMP3 in Edinburgh exchanged my dead remote within 7 working days (without having to ship the entire Squeezebox back to the retailer). They also refunded my insured postage costs. -- spinaltap My Mac can go all the way to XI spinaltap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18224 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63534 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

How strange! I haven't received any emails from you at all - and I check my messages several times daily. I can only surmise that you are sending messages to my former ISP email address (I was with Be, but now with o2).

[slim] Anyone experience of dead remote?
I already have a Squeezebox Classic, but volunteered to accept delivery of another Squeezebox Classic for my brother. Unfortunately, the supplied remote doesn't work (even though I changed the batteries). My own remote works perfectly on this new Squeezebox - so, it's clearly a problem with the supplied remote. Before I go through the trauma of shipping the remote to the other end of the country for exchange, has anyone else had similar experience.

[slim] Wireless Bridge Yamaha Network Receiver
Here's a strange one to solve, one that even technical support cannot fathom (but they thought you guys might have the answer)... Before I bought my SB3 I routinely listened to internet radio via my Yamaha RX-V2700 Network Receiver - connected to an Apple Airport Express (N) via ethernet (which acted as an ethernet bridge) that received streams from my Netgear DG834N router. Moreover, no problem was encountered in setting-up this system. I purchased the SB3 due to the inflexibility of the v.Tuner software inherent in the Yamaha receiver. That is, stations such as SmoothJazz.Com could only be heard at 44kbps via the Yamaha and with no option to seek a higher bit-rate stream. Reason suggests that the SB3 would act as a wireless bridge to for the Yamaha unit in the same manner as the Airport Express. You might wonder, why bother? In response, the SB3 blows the internal Yamaha internet radio out of the water - but I'm a dog with a bone between his teeth; I would simply like the Yamaha receiver to work fully as it did before. The problem is that the Yamaha will not make a connection with the SB3 working as a wireless bridge in the same way that the Apple Airport Express did. To ensure that the wireless bridge in the SB3 is working normally, I borrowed a Windoze laptop and switched-off its wireless functionality. Connected via ethernet, the SB3 acted as normal as a wireless bridge. The MAC address (and ip address) of the Yamaha and the SB3 have been entered into the Netgear router's set-up pane - as usual - but no luck in making the vital through-connection.

[slim] Why not discounts for existing owners?
Given the separate discussion on a 40% discount on Logitech products, perhaps it would be a good idea for Logitech to give some discount to existing Squeezebox owners. After all, look at the clamour to jump on the proverbial bandwagon that we have witnessed. Surely, if Logitech can afford to give such a huge discount to Dell employees it makes sense to provide some form of discount on further purchases to existing owners in the form of an 'owner's club' discount. Let's face it, Logitech are still making money if they can offer a 40% discount. To ensure such discounts were restricted to authentic Squeezebox owners I believe this could be accomplished within SqueezeNetwork. This would avoid the masses from getting wind of a discount code. Much like authorising your Last.fm account, you would first have to log onto your SqueezeNetwork in the usual manner, and then follow a link to the Logitech website to place a discounted order. Restrictions could be placed on how many different products you could order within a defined time period (like Apple do on their Education website). If 40% can be offered to Dell employees, then surely a modest 20% discount is reasonable for existing Squeezebox owners? -- spinaltap spinaltap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18224 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49703 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The impression is created that the plastic cover would be posted to me for me to replace, not for me to return the unit for someone else to repair.
