D-Link Boxee box

Does anyone have one or played with one?

I am thinking of buying one and wanted some opinions before I buy.
I have been reading about it and it looks impressive with what it does. I was thinking to upgrade my receiver to one with networking and other features but it looks like the boxee will doo everything I want and more.

That's something I would entertain if it includes a full function browser.

I does have a browser but I don't know how good it is. A friend of mine has a boxee and swears by it.

The reviews from Amazon customers are interesting.

I look at these reviews with caution but over 600 reviews and the boxer comes out so so. For the price I would pass.

I've played with it and I'm not a big fan. The concept is really good but he execution is sometimes a little weird. It's clear that what it does in some cases is scrape the embedded video from a website. As a result sometimes you'll see the video controls (play, stop, pause) are stuck on the screen. Much of the video on the web is very low rez which looks fine in an embedded window on a 23" monitor but, on a 42"+ TV... not so much.

I bought one and set it up but haven't played with it yet.

Cool!

There have been several firmware updates since I've last used one. Please keep us posted once you use it a bit.
