I'd rather make a cheap HTPC with XBMC, or for a similar price buy something like a Revo and run XBMC, I've played about with Boxee, it's not bad but there's better out there.

Seems you could also make your own: http://www.boxee.tv/make

I've been looking at these things lately (apple tv, boxee, and similar), my Blueray player has netflix built in but no DVR and I can't get TV shows etc.

Apple TV just looks more appealing to me from a finish and UI perspective. Been around longer too. And it integrates with the ipad/iphone/OSX etc. *shrug* just something to consider as I believe you use more of those products.

Bare in mind Apple TV will only do up to 720P before you purchase it.

thats because they keep the good stuff for version 3, namely A5 doing 1080P

Those sons of....thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't seen that.

Yup, still sucks though that they've left it so long.

No worries Chron1c..

It's odd to me, 720p is something that I thought came and left within a very short time period. Thought everything was 1080p these days ya know? But I keep seeing 720p pop in here and there...and it really is like wtf?

Tiger Direct emails ads out like 46" Samsung LCD HDTV $399!!!!!! (720p)

*shrug*
