Be careful: 1. The BBC implementation on UESmartRadio.com is the same as on MySquezebox.com, it is NOT the extended one you get with the iPlayer plugin or applet, most notably there are no listen again features 2. You can NOT always downgrade, you can only downgrade as long as you have NOT made a

I've found all the support I need here and I suspect that Logitech realise that too. Therefore, the run-off support costs will be fairly insignificant. Much of the software code is probably shared anyway so any future bugs can probably be fixed across both platforms. I wish them well with the UE

I still find it amazing Logitech has decided to orphan the Boom, Touch, Duet etc.. Those were all very expensive devices and well worth the investment of Logitech to build Firmware for them. By not doing so, Logitech will turn a percentage of avid Logitech/Squeeze fans into naysayers. This seems

Has anyone yet attempted the manual downgrade approach on a Smart Radio, i.e. one that was purchased as such and not one that started life as a Squeezebox Radio? If such a downgrade (or depending on your point of view, 'upgrade') is possible then we'd at least have a source of replacement
