I really like mine as well, but for most people it's probably not the best streaming box on the market. I also have a Boxee for the codecs AppleTV doesn't support, and when I bought a streamer for my inlaws as a Christmas gift the Boxee is what I got them. It even does Airplay in the latest firmware.
- moe 14y agoI don't understand the love that boxee is getting. I also have one and it's a terrible device (albeit just cheap enough that some people might ignore the flaws). It's loud, it's slow, the UI is pretty bad and unpolished. Sometimes it boots to a black screen or locks up randomly. Heck, 1 out of 5 times it doesn't even shutdown (just hangs on a black screen infinitely). These are all documented issues (and really only the tip of the iceberg) that have gone unfixed for years.
- gamble 14y agoAs I said, I've got an AppleTV and the Boxee. The AppleTV is the one I prefer to use - the interface is the nicest of any streaming box I've used so far. Unfortunately, it really doesn't play anything except h.264. The Boxee is basically there to play whatever the AppleTV can't handle, and at that it excels. I rarely encounter a file Boxee isn't capable of decoding. The interface isn't the greatest, but having come from a cheap Popcorn Hour knock-off, it's certainly better than a lot of its competitors.
