rgbfilter: Originally planned to come out this past spring running on Tegra, the Boxee team had to scrap that hardware choice, and have opted for Intel’s 4100 CE platform. 4100 CE will play back 1080p content with no problems, and with a lightweight custom Linux distribution supporting it, there should be little overhead for the system. Approximate cold boot time is 45-50 seconds.
Starting last month, devices based on the updated SoCs have also started appearing. In this situation, it is conceivable that the last gen models are going to be available at attractive prices in the coming months. This review should be able to serve as a guide for your purchase of one of those models.
Gigaom - Boxee Box owners will soon be able to watch live television through the device, with the help of a special USB dongle that functions as a tuner for free over-the-air HD TV signals. The live TV feature is part of a major update to the Boxee platform that is likely going to be rolled out over the coming weeks.
Engadget - Boxee users on PC and Mac should no longer feel ignored, with promises of updated software on the way and now the option to use a Boxee Box remote from D-Link.
