I run the same server as you under WHS and connect my Touch over wifi. I

I think the common wisdom here is that it is best to power external USB
drives from a source other than the TOUCH itself. So yes, a hub might
be useful. Not sure that is causing your problem, but a good idea to
use hub nonetheless. I have seen other posts indicating that the

Turns out that my Kill-A-Watt is flawed. When plugged in, but bearing
no load (nothing plugged into it) it reads 33 watts. If you accept 33
as its zero, getting 36 is reasonable when the Touch is plugged into
it.

Well the only plus I am going to say here is the Squeezebox touch server

Add code to SBS (not Squeezeplay!) so that if SBS is running on Touch
