Εγω το αγορασα απο eshop πριν τα χριστουγεννα, γενικα δεν εχω προβλημα μεχρι στιγμης, κυριως για local περιεχομενο.
Αλλα και οταν χρησιμοποιω streaming video δουλευει αρκετα καλα, ακομη και σε 1080p video απο πχ youtubue, ενω η ποικιλια ειναι τεραστια, και σε video και σε audio
Το interface ειναι διαφορετικο απο το Boxee για desktop αλλα το συνηθισα και πιστευω οτι ειναι πολυ απλο και ευκολο στη χρηση

Nεα Rc !

http://betadl.boxee.tv.s3.amazonaws...873953&Signature=KAXaBTCb52TQ+cYcTyVOyVXt2/c=

Installation

1. Please download this file, renaming it to boxee.iso
2. Follow the instructions here, to apply to your Box.
http://boxee.zendesk.com/entries/328816-how-do-i-manually-update-the-boxee-software


We have released a new version of the Boxee Box firmware. Your Box will update automatically within the next 24hrs or you can manually check for the update by going to Settings>System>Update. This latest Boxee Box firmware update has many bug fixes and in this case lots of work on the Boxee Browser. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth at CES to ask questions, make suggestions, sing praises, and generally give us energy on the show floor for 9 hours a day.

The change list is below, but we do have one frustrating bit to share with you that while we’ve been demoing VUDU without a hitch this week at the show, there’s still a few issues the technical team is trying to get to the bottom of. We’ll push the app out to you as soon as it’s ready and send out an email so you know the moment it goes live.

Το WDTV που ειχα προηγουμενως ηταν τελειως αθορυβο αφου δεν ειχε ανεμιστηρακι. Το ΒΟΧΕΕ ομως εχει, αλλα δεν ακουγεται εκτος αν παω πολυ κοντα και εχει ησυχια στο δωματιο. Και βεβαια το ΒΟΧΕΕ δε ζεσταινεται σαν το WDTV

Το Boxee φανταζομαι. Το κατεβασα σε ενα λαπτοπ και εντυπωσιαστηκα με το ποσο γρηγορα βρηκε τις ταινιες μου(που συνηθως εχουν κουλα filename) και εβαλε και εξωφυλα και τα λοιπα.
Απο firmware updates πως παει? Γενικα υποστηρηξη.
Παντως με τον Atom που εχει , του δινει και πολλες δυνατοτητες για το μελλον πιστευω!

Αν αυτα που εταζε τα εκανε απροβληματιστα, μια χαρα ειναι η τιμη του (σχετικα πάντα έτσι?)
Εχει αλλη φιλοσοφια που μοιαζει με αυτη ενος htpc.
applications , φοβερη ενσωματωση του youtube ,wifi, εξαιρετικος web browser , φοβερο remote με πληκτρολογιο , ενσωματωμενη μηχανη για εξωφυλλα και ιnfo ταινιων , δυνατος επεξεργαστης , πανεμορφο gui , μικρο μεγεθος, unrar και αναπαραγωγη του περιεχομενου τους κ.α..
Απλα μεχρι τωρα εχει καποια bugs , πχ καποιι εχουν θεματα με το δικτυο (οχι σοβαρα) , αλλοι με το dts-ma (κανει λιγα σπασιματα , 3-4 ανα ταινια , παιζει καλα ομως αν δηλωσεις εξοδο dts) , το True Hd το στελνει lpcm , και αλλοι εχουν και θεματα με το scraping των ταινιων.
Για βασικη χρηση ομως, mkv , mp3 , flac, ειναι απλα φοβερο.
Επισης τα προβληματα αυτα λυνονται σιγα σιγα και το player εχει γενικα πολυ μεγαλη υποστηριξη.

Μια ζωή ημίμετρα.....μια ζωή είμαστε πειραματάζωα....Bugs , bugs bugs και ξανα μανά bugs... κι όταν λύνονται, το μηχανάκι είναι αρχαίο πλέον από άποψη hardware.....

Δεν έχει καταλάβει ΜΙΑ εταιρεία ότι έτσι και βγάλει μηχανάκι που να είναι άψογο από θέμα software και να τα κάνει ΟΛΑ όσα θέλουν οι χρήστες, θα χ.... στο τάληρο;
