    Just curious, with Uverse, is that $20 extra on top of a land line+internet plan? If so, what is your total bill? Need to compare apple to apples.

    That 20 is on top of the internet plan (no lan line, we have cells). Wife says the bill is ~120 a month (including tax).

    So even if we cancelled the TV portion, we still would need the speed we are getting with our internet, which is where the larger portion of our bill comes from.

    OK. So you are paying about the same as I am for internet+cable service. Comcast just shows a bundle rate, so I can't say what portion is responsible for the cost. I know they have introductory internet rates of $49 for Blast (which is what I have/90Mbps). I can't say they would offer me that as a customer though.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    YES SIR I DID :grin:.... No sitting on the sidelines for you :wink:
    And obviously your running Windows for the OS on the NUC. Are you controlling JRiver with the app, a tablet, keyboard and mouse, your mind?.....

    I have a mini-mouse, keyboard, and a 7" monitor in the pelican case just for back up, but Jriver auto boots and auto starts.
    Also in the case is a wifi router that links Ipad app and NUC

    Gotcha. Bullet proof system I see. I can appreciate that one :smile:

    How is playback controlled though? You gotta have some way to navigate your playlists, artists, pause, skip, etc...[/quote]
