 In the UK, all products need to be fit for purpose from manufacture for

 should do it without error for up to 7 years. Warranty is a different
 issue.

Can you provide a suitable reference?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] SqueezeBox Radio battery kit avalible

2010-02-23 Thread awy

To all those folks building their own battery packs, you had better make
sure that you get the temperature sensor correct. It is -the- critical
component used to control charging. Get it wrong and you are likely to
get either something that is non-functional (will not charge, or
overcharges and boils the batteries), or something that catches fire.

This is all I intend to say on the matter. Just take it as a friendly
warning.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Sync is very slightly off.

2009-10-23 Thread awy

There is a bit of misinformation here.

Sync does work with mySB.com but only for music services, such as
Pandora, Rhapsody, Napster, etc. That is, services that deliver discrete
tracks, one after another, rather than a continuous stream.

For radio stations it will not work usefully. It will actually keep
them exactly the same time apart :-). This is because each SB connects
independently to the stream source, but it turns out not to be at
exactly the same time. mySB has no way of working out what the
difference in time might be.

Sometimes a useful technique can be to keep restarting the station
until the two players start up sufficiently in sync.

It is also the case that sync can be not quite so tight with mySB but
that depends upon many factors. Often it is as good as a local SbS
(except for radio).
