As someone who has had a few problems with their SBT in the few months
since I have owned it I should be in agreement with the OP . However I
have to say that I really do disagree on many levels. 

As a product that works right out of the box the SBT was for considering
what I now realise is the complex things it does excellent. Within 10
minutes of opening the box I had music streaming from my HD in to my
full music system . Nearly five minutes of that was the delay because I
could not remember the password for myserver . 
Internet radio was instant including BBC and others .

Getting the advance features form the SBT need a little work but in
truth for many users they do not want or use the advanced features and
they can learn about them as they go along . In most case to be able to
play your music and make up playlists with some radio listening is about
all that is needed and this can be done with little or no fuss. 

Perhaps the problem is that as an IT professional you had some very
definite things in mind and the SBT does not easily offer them , however
what it does also offer is an open book to apps , work rounds , re
programming which few if any other items at double the price offer. 

Finally as noted sites like this one , Wigwam Hi Fi , Hi Fi Critic ,
Pink Fish Media and Digital Audio have some really freindly and helpful
people who can offer you advice and help to achieve what you want. Given
that an SBT costs around £160 or less when on offer what do you really
expect for that sort of money ?
