Boxee

Re: Boxee

Ok so I made the official switch to Boxee, got it installed and running on my HTPC and love it. I find it much easier to use than xbmc.

I tinkered around with xbmc for quite a while before (all though I still do love the visuals and interface) I gave up on it.

Re: Boxee

I've been playing with the boxee software for the last year or so, and have been trying to convince myself to buy a box and make the switch so I can cancel my cable. Now the box is available for $100 at http://mobile.dailysteals.com

I'm buying it. For $125, it's worth it to have a new gadget imo



dusk, do you still use yours? what are your one-year-later thoughts?

Re: Boxee

That would be the ultimate media center if it had a OS with descent hardware in it that would allow you to play STEAM games/Multitask.

Sorry for the late reply mate.... and yes one year later it is still the bomb. I have no regrets about cancelling my cable at all.

Re: Boxee

So I've updated to the new Boxee beta v. 1.5 and for the life of me... cannot get any of the font to show. I have tried replacing the boxee.tff font with a generic.tff file as suggested on a google find... but still no luck.

If anyone one has any suggestions would greatly appreciate it... was so looking forward to the update

Re: Boxee

I've been trying very hard to restrain myself from upgrading to the beta. I keep telling myself it's less than a month away so i wouldn't have the issues you are.

I've done a factory reset on my girlfriend's Boxee and it went smoothly. All of her subscriptions, favorites, and queue were retained. I recommend it
