nstream feature list

Posted by: balma01 on 30 June 2011

Where can I find a list of features provided by nstream ?

I mean: can I select different sources on my uniti (radio presets, cd etc....), can I switch from one CD track to another?

Does Nstream provide all the features provided by the Uniti remote? Or is it just an upnp controller?

My experience is as follows:

It does everything on your list.  It does almost everything on the IR remote.  The only thing it doesn't do is all of the settings menus but this is probably a good thing. It comes into into it's own if you want to play content from a uPnP server or browse around iRadio stations because the screen is big enough to see and flick through stuff.  It allows you to sit back on your sofa and select music without using binoculars to see the screen on your Hifi.

For me, the newest version is well worth the money.

I wouldn't worry about asking what it does and doesn't do - just try it. Tog

:-)  from someone that spent £20+ buying the previous version, it's worth it.  I think I want my money back if it's free now :-)
