Re: Russound kit in the UK?

I hadn't heard that HS were working on Russound plugin - I was just
about to fork out on the Mainlobby plugin. I was one of the original
testers when the ML Russound plugin was free so I'd been using that
until I upgraded to ML 3. Doesn't seem to work as well with the new
MLserver as I've been suffering lots of repeated commands.

Just to add to Chris's comments - if there is one thing, it has to
be speed - both for control responses and messages to the keypads.
For it to pass the WAF test it has to be quick. No use trying to
explain how to press a key and then wait for a few seconds - by that
time she's pressed it 20 times :-)
