RE: Re: Rio Receiver in the UK

["Graham Howe" <graham@xxxxxxx>]

Yes you can do it this way, but it seems a little clumsy to me, anything
that involves adding another (powered) box is in my view moving away from
true wireless. Also I believe that these boxes are quite pricey, probably
even more expensive than the receiver! Surely anyone can tolerate a single
wire from the receiver to the server, after all people are used to having a
wire to a television, a radio, a telephone etc etc. If you can go wired
here
then that has to be the best way. Wireless is great for true wireless
devices, in other words running on batteries.

Regards

Graham
