Squeezebox Classic v3: Replacement for Remote, Power Adapter

[goldstarsteve@gmail.com]

I have invested in a cheap universal and in JVC DVD mode succeed to turn on the SB and connect to my server.

Now there is a terrible sound - it sounds like the static between stations when using an FM tuner. The distortion is total - something must be wrong here. Any ideas?

Disconnecting from electric and reconnecting did the trick.

Hurray!

As for the power supply, I replaced my broken Squeezebox3 power supply with a Vanson SMP-20WM universal supply, and it works quite well and with no detectable difference in sound quality. (I am using my v3 with an external DAC)

Every time I go to squeezeserver or back to squeezebox classic I get a firmware update. Is this because I have a non-standard remote?

Nothing to do with your remote. You are likely switching between SBS on your computer and MySB.com online. Currently they are different versions.
If you update to SBS 7.5.4 this should stop this from happening.

Only if you want to switch between SBS and MySB without getting the FW update.
SBS 7.5.4 production release should be out any time now, but the beta 7.5.4 seems quite stable on my XP install.
