 The CBC app's content is maintained by CBC, maybe you should ask them...

And considering the CBC's budget got slashed, I wouldn't hold my breath
on a fix any time soon. After all, they have to prioritize their limited
resources to spread their liberal anti-gun propaganda first and foremost
:)

Although I do still like the local CBC radio (Calgary), and I was able
to download the URL off their site and add it to my favourites.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Force Choose Network at hard power-on?

2011-03-28 Thread gibbs

Just to add to the above post, a lot of times only the top or bottom
half of a receptacle will be switched. Make sure you try both sockets.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Need a troubleshooting sticky

2011-03-28 Thread gibbs

There seems to be a lot of good advice on these boards, but it is
scattered all over the place and can be hard to find. It would be handy
to try and condense all that info into a logical set of steps for a
certain type of problem.

Let me start off with what is going on with my radio as I type this...

I tune to a station (CBC Calgary) the radio plays for approximately 1
to 2 minutes normally then goes back to the menus. Sometimes a full
menu, sometimes a partial menu. Sometimes the radio tries to start
playing again automatically and shows the tower symbol and station
banner, but no sound. My radio is connected wirelessly to a router
approximately 6 feet away.

Here is what I tried:
1) Checked Diagnostic screens:
- Shows 100 % signal.
- Shows ping is OK
- Shows tcp ports 3483/9000 are Ok
- Shows registered.

2) Set my computer to continuously ping 184.73.179.154
- While the radio continually reset (5 times or so), the computer never
dropped a single ping request.

3) Watched the wireless symbol at the bottom of the screen and it never
went off white once through the entire ordeal.

So, this is where I am and I have no idea what to try next. It seems
maybe the server is down or having problems but I do not know how to
test that. This is why a stickied troubleshooting guide would be handy.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Some advice please

2011-03-19 Thread gibbs

This may not help much, but I can offer my own experience. I ran my SB
Radio hard-wired for a couple months with very little problems. Last
weekend I bought a wireless router (Dlink DIR-632) and converted the
radio to run on wireless. So far I have had zero issues with the
wireless connection. I am running the latest firmware as well. For
example it has been running today for over 12 hours and hasn't dropped
the connection once.

I guess my point is that the hardware will actually work, so either
your radio is defective or there is some other factor in play such as a
neighbour's wireless router interfering with your signal etc.

And, yes I did mean to put the u in neighbour eh..

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Microwave Oven and Squeezebox

2011-03-19 Thread gibbs

I know at my gf's house, when the microwave turns on, the internet
connection for the laptop in the kitchen shuts down. Mind you the
microwave is physically between the router and the laptop in this
situation. Might be worth getting one of those leakage detectors.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Squeezebox Radio $129 After Rebate at Amazon

2011-03-19 Thread gibbs

That is a good deal. For the 3 radios I bought I paid 229, 199, and
169.00. All were at a BM store, can't use amazon.com here in Canada
unfortunately and amazon.ca is a complete utter joke.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] radio continuously rebooting

2011-02-21 Thread gibbs

Well, now tonight my other SB Radio is doing the same thing, even just
sitting at the menus it is constantly losing menu options, then getting
them back.

I noticed that about every 10 seconds even just at the menu, it
accesses the internet, I presume it is checking in with
mysqueezebox.com and when it is not able to communicate, it loses the
online portion of the menus. Sad thing is it is difficult to tell if it
is my radio, my internet connection, or the squeezebox service. Anyone
else having trouble tonight?

I wish it had more information in the diagnostics menu, it does show an
IP address, ping is OK, and is registered to mysb.com.

[SlimDevices: Radio] radio continuously rebooting

2011-02-18 Thread gibbs

This just started happening today. I can listen to a station for about
30 seconds then it reboots back to the main screen and takes a looong
time to load the menu options. Anyone else having trouble today?

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Battery not charging.

2011-02-18 Thread gibbs

In the meantime, you can go into options, advanced, power settings which
shows some battery information. Might be worth a look just to compare to
the new pack once it comes in.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Volume Radio

2011-02-03 Thread gibbs

I noticed there is a lot of variation between different stations in
volume as well, which seems weird since it is all digital. I know there
are some settings in the menu for gain control like auto gain and
smart gain maybe they will do something for you. They don't seem to
do much on my radio though.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Radio Advertising

2011-01-15 Thread gibbs

Hello to everyone, this is my first post. I would like to share my
experience with the squeezebox radio and also pose a question.

For me the squeezebox radio is an absolutely fantastic device. I live
in a small city with repetitive top 40, rock, and country stations.
Once I stumbled onto the squeezebox and tried it, I can never go back
to local radio again.

This leads me to my question, why on earth doesn't Logitech at least
run some commercials for their product? I seriously didn't even know
that this device existed until I happened onto it doing google searches
for a radio to use at work. I have since bought 3 of them (work, home,
gift for girlfriend) and it was only by chance that I found out the
thing existed in the first place. 

Again, once I showed this to my colleagues at work, they were very
impressed, but they had no idea such a thing existed.

I think there is a huge untapped market for such an excellent product,
but it is being severely limited by a lack of advertisement.
