treat their loyal customers like criminals, but for that little which
does, well let them spend their money on snake oil. It doesn't work, it
can't work, and it won't work.

You could do it, I suppose with splitters on the RF side. However, each
splitter will reduce the RF power (i.e. a 3-way splitter will give each
antenna only 0.33 of the power that the original put out (unless you
use amplified splitters, and those usually don't go two-way - remember,

For Live365 stations, you will have to connect using the Live365 plugin
(under Internet Radio on the home menu) to get track information.
Live365 does not provide in-stream metadata, so you won't get it if you

connection to poll

try re-seating it. Otherwise contact your reseller for repair. Sorry

Hi,
I just installed my new Squeezebox2 (platinum). Once I got through the

that I'd previously used with softsqueeze), everything seems to work

other.
My understanding is that you need to be a Live365 member to get track
