Any news about wireless bridging on the Touch ?
Our local dealer has a nice occasion for the Touch, but without

together with two powerline adapters for the same price.

Iirc you are able to download the update and put it on a USB stick. The
downloads may be found at:

How is your Touch connected to the internet?
P.S.: Isn't there a home menu entry in the settings?

The easiest way to fix your problem is to try and get the Web UI working
on the machine which you have installed SBS on (which I gather is a
Vista PC?)
Can you open the Web ui?

Yeah, I've been using that for ages. It doesn't transcode HDCD to

Hi
I always use my Touch with a hard drive directly connected as I hate
having my noisy PC on whilst listening to music. I have found that
each time I connect the hard drive it scans the whole drive, which can
take a very long time. Of course, the time can be reduced by removing
all
1) don't have anything but music files on the disk
2) stop removing the disk

I did some work on this over the weekend, unfortunately it turns out it
cannot be done with the existing firmware. There is a program on the

Its very easy to modify
FWIW I'm getting exactly the same problem as the OP - I have no
