Disklavier

I just installed my WIDI-XU and WIDI-X8 pair.  It works great, but I 
do have one problem.  With the WIDI-XU, I must open the WIDI-control 
program that you can download from the cme site and click on 
AutoSearch before it will connect to the WIDI-X8.  The manual makes 
it sound like the device should automatically search for another 
available WIDI device.

If you own a WIDI-XU, is that your experience?  I hate the idea of 
having to manually configure (select AutoSearch) from the WIDI-
control program each time I restart my computer.

Thanks for any feedback on this.

for me and the higher channels work better so this should be 
considered in testing. i guess i have some interference on the lower 
channels.
