This won't have a use for everyone, that is correct. I am quite happy with the setup I have now and won't be moving to a set top box anytime soon. But there is a lot of couch potatoes looking to get more out of their TV than channel surfing, perhaps this is aimed at them.



Down with sigs.

I've had my Popcornhour for 2 years now. This is a great upgrade. The XBMC-ish UI alone is worth the upgrade. I've tried the Western Digital. It's adequate at best. Buggy when I used it, but I'm sure firmware updates fixed those issues since then. The Western Digital UI sucks, just as the popcornhour UI sucks. They are functional. 2 years of just functinal is too long for me. Time for an upgrade. This Boxee unit is promising.
