I'm getting tired of the "another box" scenario and looking at replacing my Blu-ray with the Sony box. Looking at your list: 1) From what I've seen GoogleTV can play almost anything (at least anything I currently use), including MKV'd x.264. 2) Keyboard remote. 3) Browser that syncs with Chrome 4) You have a browser that syncs, plus I think there are apps or something similar. 5) Not sure what to say here, I believe there are tools for Android devices. 6) Supports DLNA, UPnP so it should work similarly, maybe not as gracefully. 7) Live TV is supported. Logitech's is a pass-thru box and Sony's has some cable features from what I've read. 8) Games are available I've got to admit that the Boxee box is something that I'm seriously considering, but it's hard for me to pull the trigger when I can spend ~$25 more and replace my Blu-ray player. Also, the Plex developer says that the Sony Google TV box is probably the best user Plex experience in terms of speed, functionality, and cost he's found. (At Darrin's Introduction to Google TV post.) Have you thought about the Google TV boxes? I’m getting tired of the “another box” scenario and looking at replacing my Blu-ray with the Sony box. Looking at your list:

1) From what I’ve seen GoogleTV can play almost anything (at least anything I currently use), including MKV’d x.264.
2) Keyboard remote.
3) Browser that syncs with Chrome

I have ethernet piped into my family room and always connect that way to my devices. There do seem to be many new options to offer wifi reapeating nowadays that might be worth investigating.

Boxee can play anything - I've never had a file format it couldn't play back. The interface is also very family friendly, which goes a long way too as I don't have to be the one to navigate to content if others in the house want to watch something specific. The social features are very nice - underhyped I think as no other device does anything similar. Reason #1 is essential in my book.

Bredehoft (Empoprises) Sat, 31 Dec 2011 07:31:00 +0000 http://krynsky.com/?p=42850#comment-18492 Have people found that the Roku or the Boxee are more sensitive to disruption than other wireless devices? In our house, there is a back porch (and therefore thick house walls) between our bedroom and the room where the router is. Other devices have worked fine, but when we got a Roku, we had intermittent problems with the audio. We tried switching cables and doing other things, but at the end of the day we ended up returning the Roku.
