    Boxee

    Interesting they managed to get a hardware supplier that big!

    I can really find a spec list yet, but probably gonna be a good product.

    I actually like the look of the software.

    Shame there is no 64-bit version or I'd be getting Carl to download it for me in a flash

    Re: Boxee

    Isn't this basically what the old XBMC developers are doing these days?

    From all accounts it's a top bit of software, just not sure what the hardware will be like.

    Re: Boxee

    I'd go with XMBC on a Zbox. http://www.zotacusa.com/products/mini-pcs/zbox?p=2

    Much more customisable and can play full hd content. Many of these devices like the Boxee or Appletv struggle with the high bitrate 1080p mkv or wmv movies.

    I have the ZOTAC ZBOX Intel Celeron SU2300 1.2 GHz Dual-Core
