OK, you've vented.  As garym said, everything except alarms on MySB
sounds like lousy WiFi, which could happen to any WiFi device, and
which can easily be investigated.  Reliability of alarms on MySB is
reported to be problematical by a fair number of posters, but this is a
community site - if you want Logitech support, you should go to the
official Logitech forums.

So what do you want the community here to do?  I personally get tired
of reading rants; they don't encourage me to think of something to help
the ranter.  Is there a question hiding in your original post?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Alarm Question

2011-07-20 Thread jlr_aet

Well I can confirm that setting the alarm duration works resulting in a
1 minute gap between alarms.

I don't understand why the most recent alarm doesn't just override any
active alarms, this would solve my problem.  Alarm 1 comes on at 6:20,
alarm 2 overrides alarm 1 at 6:30 and I get up and listen to whatever I
want to.

Simple. Right?

JR

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox stolen, waiting for the thief to login. Anybody had luck with this?

2011-07-20 Thread toby10

Someone did catch a thief watching the login IP and posted so here.
The trick is convincing the cops to take the time (i.e. bother) to
identify the IP address via the ISP, and convincing the ISP to
cooperate.  Lots of luck.  ;)

But I agree with others, it likely will never show up.  And if it does
show up it will likely be the person who purchased it from your thief. 
:(

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio Nightmare

2011-07-20 Thread balbs

Having the same problem with Radio and BTHomehub3- constant drop outs
etc.  I naively thought the Homehub would have better Wi-fi performance
than an old Netgear box  - silly me... it all points to some sort of
incompatability although on another thread someone has posted that upon
ringing BT they knew something about this and did a fix remotely for
Squeezeboxes which may or may not be a connected issue (excuse pun) -
anyone else heard of this?  

In the meantime don't throw the radio out!  As others have said its
relatively easy to hook another router up to act as the main wireless
point (it has to act as a switch but most modern ones do) and just use
the Homehub for the line - all very daft when we are all trying to save
energy- surely somewhere there is a permanent fix - as others have said
BT is the main ISP provider and a lot of people are moving for the
increased speed and BTFON and Zone.

Instuctions (and do this with the Homehub connected via ethernet) 

Connect from one of the Home Hub's Ethernet ports to the main port on
your other router/switch

Disable wi-fi on the Home Hub 

Log in to the Home Hub interface and turn off DHCP. On the Hub 1, go to
'Advanced > Configuration > IP Addresses'. On the Hub 2  go to 'Settings
> Advanced > Home Network > IP addresses' and deselect the "Use DHCP
Server" option.

Doing this should make your other router responsible for assigning IP
addresses and wireless connectivity (so you'll need to enable DHCP and
wireless on the other router).
