I'd avoid the Receiver. Although it does not have as many problems as
the Controller it is still nowhere near as reliable as the Classic
(SB3). So, if you are price (and time) sensitive definitely go for the
Classic. Otherwise I'd wait for the Touch (with it's lovely colour

Hi Sebastian.
Sorry, have been out of touch for some time now. I have been moving,
and everything here is still a big mess. So I have not had any time to
look at the manual.
In the meantime i see that lots of new things have happened, It is a
very sexy upgrade for your software there :)
I'm currently trying to obtain an SB2, for my bedroom, as I don't have
space on the shelf for a Classic/SB3. Ebay is a good source of SB kit,
but I'm finding a number of SB1s there are mis-described as SB2. I'm
sure it's an honest mistake, as the units are so similar, especially the
later matrix

some confusion,
Satellite links have long transmission times - 0.5 secs and radio has
small buffer which would affect it packet window size. Which means it
could take 1 sec between radio requesting a packet to top up the
internal buffer and it actually arriving at the radio. This sort of
delay can be tolerated
I understand why the Controller gets a bad rap, but why the Receiver
does too is beyond me. I've been running 2 of them for over a year
without issue. One wired, the other wireless. Only problems I've had
have been related to weak WiFi signal, surely more a function of my
