It keeps the time for the next alarm if the network fails, so it does not keep the whole shedule. So it should be conected to the server every day, then it gets refreshed regarding next alarm time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] What happened to Bloomberg?
It doesn't make sense to me that I can tune into Bloomberg radio from ANY PC and yet cannot listen to it via any of my SB Players. Now I doubt that anybody on the planet will run out and spend the money on Sirius radio merely to get BBR. So all it does is reduce viewership for Bloomberg. -- IRJ IRJ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7031 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90126 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm defaults to DISCO all the time
Either the fix that logitech have made at their server (perhaps preventing dropouts or off-time), or my constant de-enabling and re-enabling each night, are making the radio turn on, correct time, correct stream, including today. This period of correct behavior must now be 10 days or so. I have not yet had the courage to let it go without the de-enable/re-enable, and I might run this test next week sometime. One strange thing 2 mornings ago: the alarm came ON fine, but did not turn OFF after the predetermined 1 hour setting. Wondered if their server is still suffering 'brown-outs' or full off periods, as a potential explanation. -- chris.wri...@vanderbilt.edu chris.wri...@vanderbilt.edu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89650 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

And I like the radios as well. But I have to say, given your desire to mostly have a classic alarm clock with snooze, etc., a $7 small form clock radio (or just alarm) would probably be a better choice. p.s. If I absolutely must get up at a certain time, I use my Boom, my iphone alarm, and an old fashioned alarm clock.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Using SB Radio..
thanks for your replies, guys I already own Transporter and SB3, running latest 7.6.2 beta..

I'm also using SBS exclusively, but can't say that mine is not buggy at all. My radio suffers more than my SB2 & Classic from occasional lockups and reboots (esp. when playing SiriusXM).

Not a dedicated snooze button, no. That's the main reason why people complain about the UI.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Using SB Radio..
Hi I'd like to ask few questions: - how SBR is compared to standalone bed-side radios? Is the UI ergonomics good enough? - features-wise: is it possible to add multiple alarms schedule? is there a snooze button? - is it possible to work autonomously (locally)? - how buggy is the software/firmware? thanks, -- michael123 Michael michael123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23745 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90285 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
