Yes, it's normal and by design. The squeezebox doesn't do anything

What IS working:
The SB connects to SqueezeNetwork. I can listen to Internet Radio.
Pandora is a pleasure.
My computer can tell SN what radio channels I want to listen to, and
control volume and stuff,
All of those listed are for SB2 and the one that is a SB3 is made by a
shop in UK for $1,400 dollars US. Too expensive for me.
SB2 has the extenedable display cable. The SB3 doesn't hae it as it
