RE: Re: Radio sources and Russound kit?

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Kevin,

When I get the kit (hopefully this week :) ) I'll try to get on the
HomeSeer Russound plugin beta and see if that's a viable alternative.

Do you know if Cinemar has a trial ver of the plugin - or is the old one
still available?

Cheers,

Paul.
