"Niles Adds Networked Audio to ICS Multiroom System"
"Other cards in the ICS lineup deliver music from iPods, HD Radio, XM and Sirius satellite radio, AM/FM radio for US and Europe, and select digital media servers." http://tinyurl.com/568mgd "Niles HD radio issues" "We have been installing quite a few HD radio 'Cards' for the Niles ICS multiroom audio system. This is a proprietary device that fits in a slot in the ICS mainframe if you will. Lately we have been having a rash of problems with lockups etc. The radio will show a channel and good signal, but no audio. A reboot will typically bring it back. We have had more severe failures as well. We now carry a spare card with us and are now considering going back to AM/FM only cards. All other functions on this keypad based audio system have been great. I am wondering if anyone has any insight into these failures? Niles must have to buy them from a chip manufacturer of some sort? It would seem to be a problem with the chipset. We have been using attic or roof mounted antennas to improve signal, but that does not seem to be the problem as unites still fail with the antenna. There seems to be alot more going on with these devices than standard tuners. More power consumption as well. I wonder if the power consumption is the issue? I am really guessing here, but Niles is not helping with any tech support. Thanks in advance for insight." http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...9#post14432739 |

Post a link here to a data sheet to one of those parts like I asked or go smoke some more weed. http://www.nxp.com/news/content/file_1456.html Oh that's just fine and dandy. A link to the NXP web site with the same press release of 8/13/08 just like the press releases of 2, 3, and 4 or more years ago. This means nothing at all. What this is, is a proposal that may or may not actually happen just like all the other press releases of the past on this and other semiconductor web sites. On other pages of this and other semiconductor web sites you can request samples or it is past the development process production quantities of parts that really exist. Now here is an important point. There has to be a data sheet that describes the specifications for the part. This is what you actually buy, whether it is a part, a module or piece of test gear you actually buy the item to its data sheet. No data sheet means no device, which means you can't buy it or sample it. So the status of theses parts has not changed at all. They continue to be vaporware. All that happened here was that someone woke up to the fact that the years ago press release was never acted on for whatever business reason so the sale department put out another one to see if radio manufactures would bite on it this time around. Get the picture? Probably not. You and Billy boy are the most clueless people I've ever encountered. Thanks for playing anyway. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
