Hi zytogeist!
I live in Germany too and bought my gameframe directly from Jeremy. (Don’t ask me about to taxes… 😉
I had some IR Problems too and after testing a lot of situations i solved the problem simply by changing a really new battery from Varta. (No cheap ones). Maybe that helpes.
And by the way – I have to check my firmware too…
Wifi would be a good upgrade, but there are noch modules available from eboy…
