tx 8050 with UWF-1 seems to have trouble connecting

After I hit NET on the remote, it takes quite while to initialize (possibly a minute). Then it says 'connecting' and eventually the display shows Vtuner Internet Radio, but right below that it shows >Back. So I hit 'return' on the remote, and it takes me back to Vtuner, but it still says >back below. After several cycles of this, it then displays My Favorites, I click on that, and I get the >back again, so I hit Return again, ....etc. Eventually I am able to connect and start streaming stations. But last night the connection cut off completely in the middle of streaming, and I couldn't get the station again or do anything else.

It seems to me that it shouldn/t be necessary to go through all of these attempts before being successful. I checked the firmware version # that is on the unit, and is the one that was released in March, 2012.

Hi hlondon,

How far is your router from the receiver? Are there any walls or floors the signal must go through to reach the receiver?

The router is an adjoining room, not more than 20 or 30 feet from the receiver, but there is one wall to go through. I have a standalone internet radio (CC Crane) in yet another room, about the same distance away, actually with two walls between it and the router, and that radio connects more easily.
