Re: [slim] [ANNOUNCE] SqueezeCommander 0.9 for Android
With the free Logitech App out there I don't think there really is a growing market and porting something so heavy on UI as iPeng would mean a complete re-write. I hope flattermann shows up again (I'm actually somewhat concerned about this being something serious, too), his App still has the best basis for something good on Android and I believe he also already put quite a bit of work into a tablet version. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69352 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] wireless vodoo
There should be some kind of setting that lets you pick between - BG (default) - B only - G only Usually this is under 'setup' or 'wireless setup' somewhere. That said, I'm not sure this makes much difference when there isn't a B device. I -would- switch to channel 1 (the lower the frequency, the better a signal passes through solid objects). It's not much a frequency difference, so not much change, but it's free and easy. If your router has removable antennas, get a replacement with as low a dB rating as you can find (change the cylinder back to a sphere). You might also do fine with a repeater. Cheapest way to get one is to buy a dd-wrt capable router, but this requires some technical know-how (or a friend with same). -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90640 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Old Radio Shack 15-2117 JP1 remote is the most used. Always laying around nearby, big backlit buttons, controls every device in my living room (eight so far).
