Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Upgrade SB Radio to UE Radio
By now, I have collected some spare parts for my Squeezebox family There are 3 radio's now, one of it is considered real spare for me. I am not really tempted to move to UE software, it has no added value for me in a practical manner. The only positive about it is that UE is an actual supported product and not legacy. But I am curiuous about the popularity and sales for the UE Radio product. I would not be surprised that the support for (my)Squeezebox(.com) will last longer than the current UE product line ... Actually I am hoping not to be forced to upgrade when Logitech mySB servers go off air :-( Sakkerju's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37149 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96256 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio refuses to stop using old DHCP address
What ComCast is charging you per month to "rent" their router you could buy your own router (which will be much more configurable and YOU can set the lease time). If they are charging you $4 per month for this router that's $48 per year. For that (or slightly more) you could own your own router, then saving you $48 per year thereafter, regardless of which ISP service you may be using 5 or 10 years from now. Over 5 years x $48 that's $240 for a router that you could replace with your own for like $60. toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97816 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio refuses to stop using old DHCP address
The only address you should get from Comcast is for your WAN connection. You should have a router which will provide NAT (network address translation) and also allocate your local addresses via DHCP. It will also give you a firewall. I didn't even know that Comcast was even capable of providing addresses to all devices on your internal network. Having my own router is the configuration I'm familiar with - perhaps I came on the broadband wagon late where routers with NAT and DHCP were common place. With your own router, you'll have full control. They aren't hard to setup anymore. Connect a lan cable between the cable modem and WAN port on the router. Go into the config page for the router and configure the WAN port as required by comcast. Then connect everything else into the LAN port on the router. Comcast could help you set it up, or you can google tons of info. Buy a commonly used router so it's easy to get help. I recently switched to comcast from Verizon DSL and needed to find out how to configure my WRT-54GS running DD-WRT to connect with the cable modem. I found the info pretty quickly and it was easy to set up. maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97816 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] What screen should show when remote controlled?
Hello, So lets say I power cycle a squeezebox radio. When it turns on it defaults to the top most menu. Then lets say I remote control it with ipeng on my Iphone, I choose music and have the radio play the music selection. The squeezebox radio itself stays on the main menu. If the squeezebox radio was already on the now playing screen, it would show correctly what is playing, but remote controlling it does not cause it to change screens. Is this the expected behavior? If music is playing, it would be nice to see what is playing. bengaldave's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4605 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97867 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] What screen should show when remote controlled?
Change "Settings" > "Screen" > "Screensavers" > "When playing" to "Now Playing" screen.
