Many Problems using the Radio in Europe

Hi, I bought this product based on numberous positive product reviews (and a good number of previous squeezeboxen to boot).

However i've been very disappointed with the Radio and the support offered by logitech on this front.

basically the radio relies on a connection to logitechs mysqueezebox website to function without a local server, and this seems to be constantly down in europe...

they don't seem to be communicating with the users who are experiencing this problem very much and are unable to give timescales when this might be fixed so the Internet Radio side of this product (which is what i bought it for) is pretty useless.

it's a shame as if they get this service workign smoothly i'm sure the product will be great, but i'd bought this as a gift for my parents and can't really leave them with a half working system.

Great Hardware but Unreliable

I agree with everything in the review and already owned a Squeezebox Classic.

However although impressed with the sound quality and features it has proved to be unreliable and frequently hangs when playing music on a local server (the Classic usually continues). And Logitech's support has been terrible as they say that Windows Home Server is unsupported despite it staing to the contrary on their website.

Not what I have come to expect from Logitech (I was very impressed with Harmony Remote support), so avoid if you want a supported reliable device!
