How about in terms of replacing the SIMs Learning Gateway (SLG)?

any more news pertinent to this thread?

Thank you for all the great info guys! We used to just want a PPT but now we want some nice twitter feeds, video, streaming from iPlayer etc and so forth. We used to use a similar product to the one above (posted by fiza). We have had a good crack at Xibo but it seems to require a lot of time and effort! Thanks again!!

Hello there! Just resurrecting this thread a bit :S I have a similar setup here with Meru WiFi and the LightSpeed Rocket Web Filter. We have been working on an issue lately where the RADIUS single sign on between the two systems isn’t working. The Rocket is suggesting that the RADIUS packets from the Meru Controller are adding the @domain suffix to a username instead of leaving it as domain\username format. Meru of course say that the controller isn’t doing that. Have you guys managed to accomplish the single sign on capabilities?

Thanks hyb80! What Bright Sign Model did you go for? What were your requirements?

Sounds great! Let us know how you get on with Xibo! The PCs we use to run each TV are so old that they are starting to fall over...so we would also have to buy in some new micro PCs or the like to replace them. Also we are a small crew of 2 here so cant really afford much time setting up and tinkering etc. Good luck again!

Hello there! I am also looking in to the Digital Signage solutions out there having decided to move away from Xibo. Its a mission to set up and I just cant trust it to work reliably. Plus it doesn't really look nice either!! So I am currently on the verge of buying 5 HD222 Bright Sign boxes for our 5 School TVs. Any feedback on both these particular devices and / or Digital Signage in general most appreciated.
