Sad  I bought a boxee.tv DOH! Post: #1
I managed to avoid the first Boxee Box, but impulsively splurged on a boxee.tv. What a HUGE disappointment, Why didn't I do my research first. Now I'm think I'm going to RMA it. It has hardly any apps (no crunchy roll) and I don't see a way to connect to a share. Who gives a crap about cloud PVR, that would have been just a bonus for me. Guess I'll have to spend more to get what I really want. XBMC on a PC the size of a Boxee.tv. This thing is a total snooze. Sleepy

I could kick myself Frown

All I want is XBMC on my TV in a small sleek form-factor.

RMA it, and build your own.
you can buy mini cases, mini mother boards, and mini power supplies, all able to run xbmc

If you're timid about building your own from scratch, grab a Foxconn 3500, add memory, and an SDD or SD Card... install OpenELEC 2.0... you're all set

I have a Shuttle XS35GTv2 (ion based) which is basically that.
Imho it looks a bit more sophisticated than the foxconn, although they are very similar.

When your issue is solved, please edit your original post and select Solved Issue from the pulldown menu. Thanks!
