Thanks Basil. That's a relief.

Considering the unending security problems with Adobe Flash on other platforms, I have to wonder: Does the Roku Player use Flash for rendering YouTube videos, etc? If so, is there a way to switch to a more stable rendering platform, HTML5 for example?

Thanks

I'll try some of the other DD-WRT settings (channel width, extension channel) when I get some spare time. (Interestingly enough, the WiFi-direct for the remote also ope...

Doing some experimenting here with my Streaming Stick and my Netgear R7000. The DD-WRT firmware on the Netgear allows me to select a wireless channel, or let the router choose one automatically. I've noticed with the "automatic" channel setting the Streaming Stick often does not see the 5G...

Did you check it under load?

Ah-ha! The power supply's performance under load was less than stellar. I'll find another PSU and give it a try, but I'll bet that will solve my problem.

Thanks

My SoundBridge had gone dark. :( No display action, no network connection, nothing. The first thing I checked was the power supply, but my multi-meter reports a steady 5 VDC so that's not the problem.

I am the author of the SoundBridge Remote Control Yahoo! Widget. Is that the widget that vanished on you? If so, I may be able to help.

The new iTunes seems to share properly with my M1001 on both my WinXP box and my Mac Mini. I haven't done any 'extensive' tests yet, but it looks safe to install 7.4.

Do you have any interest or any plans to turn your yahoo widget into a vista sidebar gadget or are you partial/exclusive to yahoo? I am sure that would much appreciated by many.
