I have been researching for a month on what to get now that my Boxee has died. All I need is for a device that can plug into my TV via HDMI and has the ability to scan multiple sources for content (movies, TV shows). Then display them in a nice easy to use interface that pulls back meta data from IMDB or another type of source making for a clean easy to use display of content. I like Apple TV but from what I can see is it only reads from one source that has ITunes installed on. I don't care about surfing the web or watching old content on Netflix.
Thanks for any advice....

I went through this decision last August, ended up deciding on Matricom's gbox midnight, and ended up happy enough with
it that I bought a second one. It did take me some time to learn how to reflash firmware and install linux, but there is
lots of help on the matricom forums and youtube.

Will the Gbox allow you to connect to other network drives on the network or do they have to be plugged into the USB port of the box itself ?

I used to own most major brands media player, and one of them is Boxee. It didn't satisfy my craving for tinkle. I don't own KDLinks, but I have tried it at a friend house. It is more superior than Boxee. I brought my Blu-ray collection in 1TB USB driver, and KDLinks can playback it as well as XBMC. KDLinks GUI is too simple for me though, and it cannot be tinkled.....
