Well, I've heard good things about the Nevo SL and the screens certainly look right, but.......

- can you browse music via other UPnP servers, such as TVersity?
- can it deal will large music collections?
- is the browsing speed acceptable?
- what is the support like? (TVersity and Sonos are just superb)
- is there a user community sharing configuation setups?

Any advice gratefully received!

the 1st 3 i cant answer as i dont use wifi. you'll find the only support you will get is from your dealer. and as of now we have just been emailing each other back and forth with our configuration set ups... i've sent mine out at least 5 times now. there has been mention of creating some kind of an area here, the moderator Dan Tonks has indicated if he recieves enough configs he'll set it up.... that was only a couple weeks ago so we'll see what happens!

happy hunting! = )

1. I don't know.
2. Yes. You can sort via album, genre, artist, playlists...right on the screen
3. Yes.
4. Never had to call in for support.
5. Daniel Tonks here at RC.com is supposed to be working on it.

Another potential user questions:

Is there a way to browse TV lineups via the remote similar to Harmony?

Thanks in advance!

By TV lineups I assume you are saying that the Harmony can somehow retrieve and display the programs that are currently on and upcoming programs? I wasn't aware that the harmony could do that. I have a harmony 880 in addition to the Nevo. The Harmoiny 880 can display color icons of 16 of your favorite channels, but not the programming information. The NevoSL CAN do that (display channel icons). It can display way more than 16 channel icons, I suppose it will display every channe you get, if you wanted it to.

yeah ckelly, i'm not sure about the 880, but some harmony models allow you to download the TV listings weekly/bi weekly directly to the remote so you have a full TV guide in the palm of your hand! sounded a little gimicky at 1st but it actually is a nice feature as to not disturb other viewers while seeing what else is on!

edit: sorry ckelly, just read your post again -are you saying the Nevo CAN download TV guide listings?

No, the Nevo cannot download a tv guide sort of item. Chris was saying you can put preset channel icons on the screen, which will jump to the channel without using the guide.

There is another thread here about TVersity. Some folks have had success making it work with UPnP. From my experience, there are apparently some manufacturers who may have not followed the entire UPnP standard. I suspect this is why some devices will/won't work.
