    Think you can find a lot of opinions about Moment in the forum.
    I think its important for you to think about what is your main use case.

    I owned one a number of years and liked it a lot.
    However, today it is an unsupported product so some initial features does not work like the “mood wheel”, since that rely on integration to Gracenote metadata that does not exist any more.
    Also, I have seen some people having the tablet screen failing.

    So, let us know why you are thinking of being one to make it easier to provide advise.

    Congratualation to what I would say a nice buy and enjoy the system and yes, there are still a lot of opinions on the system.

    As said, depends on your expectation, but I’ve had the Moment now more or less since it was released and use it almost every day for either playing TuneIn (Net.Radio) or Music (Net.Music) and it has served well. As @Hjort indicate, some features has been lost over time, such as the “mood wheel” function which was depaded a lot already when it was released were I kind of liked the MOTS function more. Also, going back, initially I really wanted the Beesound 5 but at that point in time didn’t have any idea how to hide away the main box, and when the Moment was released my wife bought the unit. But, if you’re into having it to be able to play both Deezer and DLNA-source, then it works very well. Overall happy customer with the Moment in general, just pitty that the support was dropped just after a few years. Also, from design, not really on the same level as some of the older system, such as Beosound 5 which I still think is the best looking digital audio system on the market (and if B&O would reluanch an updated version I’ll buy it in a blink).

    What does your list on TuneIn show? The list of the stations that you defined on TuneIn should show up proper with icons and in the order you’ve defined it. Might be that the ones that doesn’t show up (and do they play?) might be free account limitation with TuneIn. Don’t recognise this and I very seldom login to TuneIn; I mean I’ve been using the same list of channels since I got my Moment which mirrored my ‘standard’ FM channels 🙂

    To make a proper shutdown of the Moment, do the following:

    1. Shutdown the Moment Hub (SoundHeart) fully by powering it off.

    2. Remove the BeoSound Moment interface (Jukebox) from the BeoSound Moment hub (SoundHeart) so it is not in charging position. Press and hold a thin pointy device (e.g. a paper clip) into the pin-hole for 2 seconds and let go. This will shutdown (Power Off) the BeoSound Moment interface (Jukebox).

    Moment_SoundHeart

    3. If less than 1 second no action will take place. (If more than 5 seconds the aluminium touch wheel and the wood touch wheel will loose function; to continue from this situation, place the BeoSound Moment interface (Jukebox) for charging in the BeoSound Moment hub (SoundHeart) and redo all the above instruction steps).

    4. Wait 4 seconds.

    5. Place BeoSound Moment interface (Jukebox) for charging on the BeoSound Moment hub (SoundHeart) by which the BeoSound Moment interface
    (Jukebox) will wake-up.

    6. Power on the Hub and you’ll should hopefully see that both units now boots up as it should.

    What about the LED on the back on the Hub, does they indication any issues? Here is the LED indication chart from the installation guide:

    Moment_LED_Indications

    Also, are you the Hub using wireless or wired network and are you able to see both units on your local network if you scan your network for devices (you can use tools such as Advanced IP Scanner for Windows)? Additionally, since the Moment Jukebox make use of wireless network (2.4 GHz); any issues with signal strenght were the Moment is located?

    leave the Moment Hub off the Soundheart until it’s battery is drained completely.

    put the Hub back on the Soundheart and follow bnousr 6 steps.

    edited:
    wait some time to let the battery recharge a bit.

    reset the the Hub (see above) with a pin/paperclip.

    The Era has a line-in connection – see here:
    Sonos Era line-in how-to

    From the Moment/Powerlink out, you will need an adapter cable to connect to the Era/line-in dongle.

    However, please allow me to ask….what a you trying to achieve with this combination, that the Era can not do on its own with the Sonos app?
    Maybe you are using the beolink to other B&O devices function???

    Hello,

    I am able to play custom TuneIn streams on my Moment as long as they are .m3u format.  The m3u8 streams don’t play and so I’m wondering how you get radio.net streams to work through TuneIn on the Moment? Specifically I am looking to play the BBC radio 1-4 streams all of which end in .m3u8 as fas as I can see/find.

    Thanks for any insight here.
