None of them will come close to the functionality that a Boxee Box would offer. The Popbox is their attempt to try and counter the Boxee Box but I'd be surprised if its anywhere near as good as the PC software that Boxee (& XBMC its father) uses has been in development for a very long time.]]>Mar 4th 2010 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/asus-o-play-hd2-spotted-specd-explained/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/asus-o-play-hd2-spotted-specd-explained/Totally agree. The Boxee Box is going to be a fine piece of kit, and I can't wait for it to be released, to be honest.]]>Mar 4th 2010 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/asus-o-play-hd2-spotted-specd-explained/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/asus-o-play-hd2-spotted-specd-explained/
I want to love Boxee but each time I try it I'm eventually get frustrated with it and go back to MythTV or WMC.

It is still in Beta so I haven't dismissed it yet but I've found the video quality and some user interface issues when playing online content needs some love. For example the Netflix queue doesn't show or sort by episode number when viewing your Instant Queue for a TV series. Hulu can get confused when the Boxee controls try to operate the Hulu controls.

Boxee is 95% there and I look forward to the final release on it's own hardware. Just a bit of polish left to go...

There's a 64 bit version as well. I use it all the time, and if you control it with an MCE compatible remote, then you shouldn't have to do anything with your remote. I'm using a WinTV remote, so I had to alter my irremote.cfg, but the code is on the Boxee forums.

In short, this gives you basically everything (well, almost, until Boxee brings back the RSS feed functionality).]]>Mar 8th 2010 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/asus-o-play-hd2-spotted-specd-explained/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/asus-o-play-hd2-spotted-specd-explained/
