Don't see what the fuss is over Boxee on Engadget vs players who have been in the space for years now, doing stuff just as well - like Mediaportal (www.team-mediaportal.com)

If this were a software update blog, great - but this is a gadget blog. Why are boxee alpha updates reported? Might as well report Mediaportal beta updates... it all snowballs from there.

Seriously, checkout Mediaportal - it's an amazing piece of kit - it's free - and open source.
Sorry to say, but Tivo (much like Hulu now too) means nothing outside of the U.S.

It gets a big fat whoopdedo from me.
Ivan do you even own or have ever owned an Archos?

I have a 605 and I use it daily for mp3 and xvid video. Works flawlessly apart from the very occasional hard lock (but what device doesn't these days? - even my phone locks-up every now and then).

But stuttering and no playing of video? Never once, experienced it in well over a year and a half of daily usage.
Why can't they do both attack and defence?

They even get to stop and think about what they're going to do next whereas in rugby players actually have to call the play, execute and call the next play as the game continues around them.

There's no stopping to let the playmaker have a think and conference about what to do next.
@JermTool

That's right, gridiron players need their noggens protected so much more because they are so intelligent they can't even handle attack and defence - they need to run an entirely different players on because they can only learn how to do one thing per game.......!
Yeah there are some big hits there!

Lucky they had cushy mattresses to land on.

Oh and helmets that don't seem to do their job because they just fall off. Look more like a hazard to me than a safety device!
You want real men playing real rugby?

No padding or helmets required!

No idea why you yanks use helmets for football anyway! All these shoulder pads, ridiculous looking helments, leg padding...

Check out rugby, league or AFL to find out what real footy is all about.

I've owned a 605 for months now and have no complaints whatsoever about the audio-quality, and I'm usually pretty picky about my audio.

If you're getting hissing from your 605, I'd suggest you do something about it because that's not normal.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
