Looks like lifetime has already gone up to S829 is that a result of this takeover or did I miss it? [Roon - Pricing](https://roon.app/en/pricing) ---

Ah Ok thanks I did a quick search but did not find it. Now I read the thread I do remember it, but the lifetime increase had not sunk in. ---

To this day I am still unable to use ARC! My AT&T Router prevents it. ---

That has nothing to do with ARC, if you’re ISP doesn’t support port forwarding then Plex wouldn’t work externally either for example. ---

Sounds like plenty of potential for distracted driving. Keep safe ---

Roon ARC works well with my AT&T BGW-320 500 (300/300). ---

Yep. It works great for me and it was one of the main reasons that I finally joined Roon. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good and getting better. ---

I’m fine, it would be nice if ARC didn’t have these issues (they were acknowledged by support in July as ‘Ticket In’ but never fixed). I’ve been using SiriusXM way more these days and Roon as a whole a lot less because the experience has really degraded for me. I’m beginning to regret paying for Lifetime and I hope we get some fixes soon. ---

This kind of stuff keeps me from wanting to even mess with ARC. Having been taken out by a distracted driver on my motorcycle I just don’t want to be bothered. Steering wheel controls where you don’t need to look away or put your head down are a must. Next track and volume are all I need. ---

Yes but when it’s talking over your GPS and the only way to fix it is to force stop the app and reopen it, it’s just not worth using in the car until they can fix it. To make it worse it happens 1 in every 3 times. So you never know when it’s going to be broken. ---
