OK tested at the worst time which is 10-11AM. In addition my daughter is home, so no knowing what she might be sharing. (This is not normally the case). Up = 493 kpbs Down = 7684 TOD = 10-11AM bit rate = 192 kbps (for both streams) which is much lower than what I had it. I had my wife down to this level with myself still at 320. I had no issues, she had issues. I lowered mine and it didn;t seem to help hers at all. Also while testing, I was running 2 SS streasms as well as the SB3 (and my daughter's computer previously referenced) -- mapatton Mark Sony XBR5 / Pioneer Elite VSX-94THX / Panasonic DMP-BD30 / Toshiba HD-35A / Pioneer Elite DV-48AV / SqueezeBox 3 / SA 8300HD / all with a Pronto TSU7000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mapatton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9146 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42170 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
