And ultimately the vba should work very simply for you. I suspect the problem is likely some simple settings being incorrect. garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://f

I've tracked it down to the VortexBox being the problem. I've been wrestling with it for 6 months now, it never works for more than a couple of days. Something always screws up. On the Vortexbox I constantly have to reboot it, or correct settings that mysteriously got reset. I can't just listen

I'm starting to think this whole endeavor was a giant waste of time and money. NO MATTER WHAT I DO it never works for more than a day or two. Some setting always gets off... something always needs to be rebooted... or, like now, I TRY EVERYTHING and it still doesn't work. It will play for 10 s

Ok, my Vortexbox / SqueezeBox Touch setup has been very buggy. Always has been. Very frustrating. Sometimes works great, very often it doesn't work at all. VortexBox and SBT are both connected to the Verizon router with ethernet cables. Prior to getting into details, I feel like there are a few
