Andy et al,

i had so many problems stting up a SBR for the first time at my parents
i can't list em all...

i started with a fw19 SBR and if i hadn't had my own SBC with me, i
don't know if i would ever have got it working.  (the ethernet port
seemed useless)

i also signed up for SN during install, and it never said i was to get
an email to activate my account.  therefore i didn't know why i
couldn't log in to the site, (or eventually could log in but not sync,
not sure)...  when i finally saw the email, and clicked the link, i got
no visual confirmation that the account was now actually activated...  i
assume it is, but i'm not sure, b/c it doesn't say anywhere onsite, and
i don't recall when exactly it let me in, but that could be coincidence
anyway.

another issue was the site seemed to let me in, but the SC sync
wouldn't take my info, saying the accunt didn't exist.  this was not
explained either...  how could i be in the site without SC accepting
the sync login info?  it gave no indication of needing to authorize an
account via email link if indeed that was the issue.

yet another issue is the SBR for some reason doesn't have its own Pin
number printed on itself...  i had to use the SBC to get it and tie it
to SN.  that sucks.  and it was confusing to figure out where the pin
number was, that i could even get it on the sbc and where to navigate
to get to it.  the menu system seemed to duplicate the choices.

being the slimpert i am, ;) i eventually got it all working without
abusing support or the forums, and have 7.3.2 on their setup with a
single SBR fw56 and nothing else.  i also spent time fixing ther tags
and so on, and set a fave link on his laptop so he can use that as a
remote control for now.

but there is no way on earth my parents could have got this going. 
just too hard, period.

having said all that, now working its a huge improvement over the RCA
lyra wireless i had gotten him 5-6 years ago, and i think he'll love
it, but i thought this feedback would help slim out a lot, esp SN.
