To put it another way : the less devices I connect to my HiFi system, the better I feel ! So my initial question was : I understand that I will have to connect the Touch to the Internet and to a computer for the initial setup, but after that, can I use the Touch in standalone mode (i.e. only connected to an external hard drive, without any computer) and control it with the Controller (I prefer this solution than having to reach the screen of the Touch) ? And do I need to purchase a wifi router for that purpose or does the Touch itself has such Wifi capability ? I thought so when reading funkstar's answer, but now, I have a doubt. -- rotho ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rotho's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69041 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
