alexpgpI really don't think I've ever had to deal with a piece of hardware that has provided me with more features that just flat out didn't work (or worked intermittently) than the D-Link Boxee Box.
Now, I would expect this—and might even tolerate it—in a homebrew, alpha-level kind of product, but while skimming various Boxee-related sites, I not only found a lot of people in the same boat as I am, but also rumors of an impending new version of the hardware (a "Boxee Box 2"), which sort of implies that owners of current units are "early adopters" in the most unfortunate sense of the word.
There may be a way to "cut the cable" or do whatever it is one does to not use satellite TV, but in my opinion, Boxee ain't it.
Cheers...
