It's also not very big, so easy to tuck away. Christophes , May 1, Location: Cardiff, Wales. Last edited: May 1, You must log in or sign up to reply here.

Oddly enough they claim they can only occasionally reproduce the issue which seems like an out in case they cannot get it fixed although many users including myself have easily reproduced the audio dropouts. The HD Audio dropouts are not frequent. I think most people experience maybe dropouts for the duration of a movie running latest fw , and the dropouts only last a few seconds.
Enough to be noticed but not enough to ruin the experience although annoying. One alternative was to only play the core or to allow the Boxee Box to decode to LPCM, but my understanding and sounds like you noted this as well there are issues with multi channel LPCM. Boxee Box is not my cup of tea either, but getting Netflix and Vudu was big. I guess it can browse the web, but I have no intention of doing that.
So I need a media player, but those are a dime a dozen. It can do all my media playing needs in standalone mode. And, to make matters worse for Boxee, Those devices can also do Netflix and Vudu media streaming. Xbox has Zune but you get the idea. There are only so many techies around and there are already an abundance of devices for them. Provide a unique capability that will appear to mainstream households like when the game console added gaming, or the VCR added movie watching.
I hope to be able to someday buy an Andriod powered BD player, install apps, play simple games, watch my videos and content, and listen to music all from one box. The Boxee tries to do it, but ultimately missed the boat by not being a BD player or Cable box, or Game Console first. I suspect that in their market, there are many people for whom the Boxee Box or a similar device would be adding discrete functionality. After installing the latest update my library issue is gone.
Hopefully they can fix the multi-channel PCM thing in the next rev. Have you played with a Google TV? While I agree that the concept is great, the execution is, um…, lacking. Higher end BD decks? Who are these customers who are savvy enough to have a lot of local media? They are nerds. Like you and me.
And they are typically savvy enough to be able to operate a WD media player, or a windows media center on their TV. Roku already has more developers and are based on a cheaper platform.
GoogleTV has potential because of their distribution and unification power. Boxee has a powerful box on x86 with a nice UI based on code from an Xbox hack. Good to see the new update fixed some things. He has a projector so his room was dark and i could barely use it. That is a valid point though, a switch to enable a back light so the battery would last longer would be a cool feature.
