    Guys,

    Thanks to Ash for looking after this thread and I can see how popular the SLA5520 has been!

    Just like to say thanks to Lisa Hunt from Philips Ireland who has sorted us out with the replacement 1100's - given the 5520's were bought as a bin end - Philips really have stepped up to the mark and gone way beyond the call of duty - it would have been way cheaper for them to just write the 5520's off an tell us to do refunds!

    Anyway just wanted to say thanks on behalf of Ash & myself and hope you are all enjoying your streamers..

    ATB,

    John Mc

    John,
    Does this mean that the replacement 1100s are ready to pick up?

    If so I'll drop in and swap my 5520 for one on my way home from work :)

    Thanks again for the excellent service!!

    Ash said he'd let us know when he got them (he did mention today though)

    Can't wait to get my hands on mine! :D

    Fair play to Lisa @ Philips, as well as Ash speaking on our behalf.

    Picked up mine in the Philips Shop today. Great service (from Nicola?). I was so impressed by the level of customer care that I'll be back again to spend a lot more money on a HIFI setup for my new place at some stage.

    Guys + Girls

    I have a few returned (in very good nic) SLA5520.

    Some have already been snapped up by eager Boardies but if anyone else would like one AND is happy that the Internet Radio doesn't work as is says on the box (fellow boardies seem to recommend TVersity as a work around) post up on this thread and I'll set one aside for you.

    Cheers
    Ash

    Is anyone else having problems with the SLA5520?
    I got one of the returned units but it only seems to work from time to time..

    I have twonkyvision media server running on a winxp server which is picked up perfectly by all the laptops, my phone (n82) etc..

    On the 5520 it only picks it up from time to time. Yesterday I restarted it multiple times.. to no avail, couldn't pick it up (could see it perfectly on my phone at the time)

    Then this morning it picked it up fine and I played a song, a few mins later when I pressed the home button it was no longer finding it but when just skipped through songs with the next button it works fine (but couldnt adjust what I wanted to play because I couldn't find the music menu)

    At the moment it's not working for me at all.
    I have no idea what's wrong, the wireless network seems fine, I can see it in the attached devices in the router and the device get's an ip fine.. It also dosen't respond to media controllers (Cidero, my phone)

    Anyone else having similar problems?
    Thanks.

    not sure if its any use to you, but i'm planning on installing Mediatomb on my Western Digital My Book World soon. Its supposed to be a great alternative to Twonky as its free and also it lists the SLA5520 under the compatible device lists. Check it out and see if its any use for you.
