No, VK, with the right discount code you could get one for �105 back in March. I know I did!!!

Not had an F80 at home, but for the money the Boom is pretty good, surprisingly heavy and surprising bass for such a noddy plastic box!

I have a squeezebox boom in the bedroom and two people have bought themselves one since hearing it. I'm using it with a wireless connection for the moment and haven't really had any drop out problems with music streaming. I suspect that the internet radio dropouts aren't because of the wireless connection but because of the internet connection/stream.

I noticed somewhere that it is possible to stream DAB to squeezebox using an old Psion DAB Tuner Wavefinder which I've recently purchased on eBay for �8 + Delivery. I'll let you know if I can get it to work.

Cheers

If the CAT5 wiring become a struggle, Belkin offers the F5D4074 - a 200Mbps Powerline adapter for AV purposes.

I think I'll probably do that actually. I already have two 85Mbps powerline jobbies (with one Squeezebox feeding off it) and they work well.
