It is one of the many things I tried yes, and when I did this the controller was stuck on Network A, the speakers on Network B so when my phone d/c from the speakers local network, I could no longer connect to them through the App.

Has anyone added a Mini Sub to a 2 Sonos One set up? Its just for general music listening so not sure how much it would add to the overall experience but they have been taking my fancy since they came out

I'm running a sub mini with 2x Sonos One. Transforms the sound
Could do you recording if you like to show with/without sub.

I added the Sub mini to my Beam and play one surround setup and I have to say I am impressed, it really does make a massive difference. Bizarrely it made the voice clearer, reading about it after its because all the bass duties get off loaded to the sub and that lets the other speakers concentrate on the mids and highs so it doesn't just add more base it cleans up the whole sound. I'm not sure I would ever pay full price for it, I got mine at very, if you start a credit account you get 20% off your first order, the sub was £390 at the time so got it for £312.

Welp you've cost me 330quid
Coming from a detached house in the North to the South, I've had to downsize significantly. I went down the Sonos route, as soon as I get a bigger place in the South I'll be going away from Sonos. It's good but I don't feel it's good enough for what I'm used to.
Haha, apologies dude, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, film nights have been transformed , my the kids love it ... not so sure about my neighbours mind
Sub mini arrived - used the Very trick to get it for £340. Works amazingly well; setup super simple. Well impressed thank you for persuading me 
Question - I have ran ethernet everywhere, so on one hand it is a shame to not be leveraging it, but is there any benefit to wiring these things up using cat5? I guess now I have two, latency could be a thing?

Honestly, I've had far more issues with Sonos when it's wired compared to using wireless, especially if you have Sky Q or any other system that likes to deploy its own bridge/L2 solution.

Yep, ditto. An STP/RSTP nightmare. I moved my Sky Q boxes to a different VLAN which made a big difference but it still was quite hit and miss.
Even when hard wired, the speakers will communicate wirelessly over their internal Wi-Fi network.

IIRC I’ve got 18 Sonos speakers in the house plus a Port and (touch wood) haven’t had any wireless issues for years. I think it got a lot more stable with S2.

Sonos TV: The scoop on the speaker maker’s streaming device plans
Sonos is working on a TV streaming device. Here's how Sonos TV will use phones for control, content discovery, app installations and more.

Very interesting.

Doesn't sound great, a streaming device without a remote would be pretty annoying. Maybe they will support HDMI CEC control so you can use the TV remote but having to get your phone out all the time is cumbersome and I'm not a fan of voice control.
Also while I like my sonos speakers, the app isn't really its strongpoint. The potential workaround for lip sync issues is interesting although eArc is supposed to sort that out.

I guess Sonos are banking on most people having their phone already out (which for the most part I’d say was true). I for example only put my phone in a pocket if I’m going out-any other time it’s somewhere that’s easily accessible.
I showed the article to my wife and she wasn’t put off by the notion so happy days lol.
The article suggests that there will be a new Sonos TV app that would be introduced as well.

Does nothing for me even as someone with substantial amounts of Sonos kit.
