I'm very skeptical about this. From the videos it looks like a HTPC
solution that's very scattered, it feels like another one of those
boxes that tries to do too much and don't unite the needs into a simple

The free aspect of online video is a nice anamoly currently but

Haha - the marketing guy on the video clicks on 'watch TV' to turn on
the TV and switch to the correct input connection, but the input

What it is exactly, Internet on your TV? Not really ground-breaking.
Don't know about the US but we already have TV's with built-in Internet

my assumption is that internet tv's are very limited in their

i currently have amy sb2 sitting on top of my mac mini which is right
next to my flatscreen and i run boxee for all of my tv/internet tv

boxee of course is a very small player in the game compared to
logitech/google and currently boxee is just software and not a
