This radio has a problem with stray 802.11n networks which will prevent the radio from connecting to a network. Users will have to replace the USB Wi-Fi adaptor inside the radio. Instructions to do so at tghe-retford's user page or the Reciva Forums.

Also, clock cannot sync to internet time, and you must set it yourself.).

#1 - The contrast on the lcd display was very low while installing the patch
#2 - The LCD text did NOT show during update, however the patch and update worked OK
#3 - Bug in standard firmware means that the debug partition gets reinitialised on every reboot
     so all the web server files get wiped out. 
     See Talk:Enabling_Login#No_web_server_on_Roberts_WM201 for details.
#4 - Test patch did not display anything, but full patch installed OK.

     to this radio using the Sharpfin process.
#2 - Radio and patchserver reported upgrade in progress. On reboot, previous 257-a-756-a-030

#1 - The firmware installed OK but no sharpfin webserver or telnet access after.
Everything else OK (this is normal, as entire firmware including sharpfin patch
is overwritten, trumpton)
#2 - Required factory reset; login to NAS server (FSC StorageBird) failed afterwards
#3 - WiFi is not disabled in Standby mode (can still access webserver), but no humming
on IR100. Config file change required for WiFi to be disabled.
The smbmount does not accept IP addresses anymore; must use server name instead.
#4 - 2 radios working fine.
#5 - Firmware IPdio Clock
#6 - possible Beta Version.
Adds support for SmartPlug enabled radios via Davicom DM9601.
#7 - Sharpfin patch doesn't work correctly - File explorer locks up forcing a reboot
#8 - Firmware Update Tchibo Internet-Radio (ID 830)
#9 - Rearranged config files eliminates Search menu option available in previous firmware.
#10- On Sangean WFR-20 most new features are not enabled which are available on Roberts WM201:
no Search function, no capability to save stations to My Stations using Reply button,
no increase of the number of alarms (8 on Roberts, 4 on Sangean), etc.
#11- No Search feature. Connectivity seems improved.
#12- Search feature working. Can't notice connectivity improvements.
#13- Everything OK, but the radio lose the supplementary menu item Top Selection (NRJ Group radio stations favorites, and presets)
#14- Whats this firmware good for? No one else tried it yet? Put it on the radio and works...
#15- Some features that are in other radios are missing, including those in note #10, and only two alarms are available.
#16- Firmware works fine on IR100 but have been unable to make clock-in-status-line work (can't get anything in status (4th) line).
#17- Works fine on Intempo GX-01 and clock-in-status-line works (set status-line-clock-position to 44).
Minor problem - when a menu pops down, part of the clock is temporarily blanked out for a few seconds.

257-a-865 Series Firmware

Installing this firmware will effectively end the possibility of using the Sharpfin process on the radio. It is not possible to install the base files once this version of the firmware has been installed. There is no existing method of reverting to previous firmware.(castalla)
Note: It appears that later versions of this firmware may allow Sharpfin (castalla)
For me, sharpfin did work! See the post [2] in the google sharpfin groups for more infos! (gforums)
I also managed to install sharpfin on ipdio style with firmware 257-a-865-a-118 as described by gforums (kom)
I managed to put sharpfin back on a Vistron MX-200i after updating to 257-a-865-a-118 but did not have to use gforums' method described above. I just used the standard instructions and it worked first time. (alexmorris - 2009-02-27)
Same with ipdio mini. Installing sharpfin worked with the standard procedure. (kom)
And again, this time with the Logik IR100. (alexmorris - 2009-03-05)
Needed my method again on my logik to install newest firmware and sharpfin...however, it still works. (gforums, may 16th )

#1 - Sharpfin works. See thread on google groups! UPNP control with Cidero UPNP Media Controller works very well now.
#2 - The order of playback controls on the unit has been changed. The Play/Pause/Stop button has become Previous, and
     the Previous button has become Play/Pause/Stop. From top to bottom they are now Previous, Play/Pause/Stop, Next.
     The remote control buttons have not changed.
     Additionally, this firmware update fills up the storage once sharpfin base patch is installed.
#3 - Unlike the Vistron MX-200i, this update does not alter the order of the unit's playback controls. However, it
     still fills up the storage once the sharpfin base patch is installed.
#4 - 'Radio Info' on the Sharpfin web server doesn't work.
     Fix: Edit /opt/webserver/cgi-bin/admin_Info_Radio_Info.cgi and add these 2 lines at the very top:
     CONFVAL=`readconfig`
     RECIVA_HW_CONFIG=$((0x$CONFVAL & 0x3FF))
#5 - Sharpfin works. Enhancement Pack 1.5 works. Firmware downloads to wrong folder. Preset manager works only   
     for presets 1-20. Mute key on remote control doesn't work.
#6 - Enhancement Pack 1.6 works.
#7 - Enhancement Pack 1.6 works.
