Question: Why should I choose Boxee Box over Google TV? What device will provide a better experience for my home?
Document: Google TV, Apple TV, Roku, WD Live, and others. They all offered similar capabilities but the Boxee has so much more to offer. More than anything else, I wanted a device capable of playing a wide range of file formats. So far, everything I've thrown at the Boxee it has played without a hitch. It is quite impressive. For a much better experience I suggest buying an external hard drive to attach to the Boxee via USB.
But if I had to choose between Boxee and Logitech Revue (which I own both), I would go with the later one. Boxee clearly is ahead when it comes to codecs support and various file format and networking support, but Google had much less time to develop and will have a market that already has lots of useful apps for their Android phones. Google has much better browser, and it did the right thing integrating Google TV with Cable TV.
I originally purchased the Google TV thinking that would be a better device than this Boxee Box, and man was I wrong. In fact, I actually pre-ordered the boxee box and cancelled the order for a Google TV instead, but was VERY disappointed with Google TV.
The Boxee Box is an evolution of software for HTPCs and before that hacked Xboxes. Thus it's roots come from organizing and displaying local media files. SImply put, there is no device better at that than the Boxee Box. I've usedLogitech Revue Companion Box with Google TV and Keyboard Controller,Western Digital WD TV Live Plus 1080p HD Media Player,Roku 2 XD Streaming Player 1080p, and various other solutions. These (and Apple TV), all fall short of the Boxee for local media.
But it is truly discouraging that the out of box experience is no where near as smooth and content rich as the PC Boxee client.The hardware seems more than capable of playing HD content and should provide a great streaming and Internet TV platform. When playing the HD (720 Youtube) and other video streaming the hardware do a good job and if you bandwidth is decent it should look great an not stutter at all.The remote is a mixed bad. Honestly, the designer should be taken out and shot!
I love the short synopsis as well as the pic of the movie i'm going to watch (which it looks up for me too). It makes the WD box look like a 5 dollar POS.-Constant updates. The boxee team is continuously working to make the device better. They listen to the users on the forums and provide feedback and incorporate the changes into the firmware. Good luck getting a useful response of WD.-Some pretty awesome apps on the Boxee.
I'm no fan boy, I'm just telling you how it is..The Boxee Box is simply amazing, I can stream pretty much any video type from my home server to my HDTV via my wireless home network.It has more content and capability than any of the competitors out there!Google TV who?, what!
Boxee BoxWell, this is the second HTPC or similar I have bought in the last few weeks. First was google TV and now Boxee Box. I have ran the MAC version of boxee and love it. The interface with the Boxee Box is different:Home screen cannot remove the short cuts like you can in MAC versionApps are different meaning you have to specify your personal Apps if not the default list is presented by default.
I've had my eye on the Boxee Box for a while. I compared them to the Google TV, Apple TV, and a few others, but none of them seemed to be able to play the types local files that I needed them to. I got the Box for Christmas and couldn't be happier. It found all my local movies (.iso format) home movies, music, pictures, just as I hoped it would. it plays them in 1080p with no lag whatsoever (it is hard wired).
I purchased this item as part of severing my TV relationship with my local cable company. The Boxee Box is a relatively new device, but, won in my comparison to the Roku device and others. Boxee provides an optional "Live TV" usb stick to provide tv through the box. This is something that the other boxes did not do at the time of my purchase. It's also built such that it can be refactored into a DVR if D-Link decides to take this path.
Answer: I wouldn't say they're two completely different products... they're similar products with two different goals.  Google TV is about optimizing your current TV experience.  The Boxee Box wants to replace your cable/satellite provider.Go ahead and download Boxee from their website, it's free.  Take a look at the shows offered and the quality your internet can handle.  See if the difference is worth your cable/satellite bill.  If not, maybe you should consider cancelling and buying a Boxee Box.I haven't had cable for over a year now.  I actually prefer watching shows on the internet for several reasons.  First of all, I get to choose what I want, when I want, without worrying about recording shows.  Next, the commercials online are far shorter.  When I watch regular cable now I feel like I'm watching endless commercials, it's ridiculous that you actually pay them to show you advertisements.  Finally, I no longer feel like a mindless drone watching TV.  I'm not watching a show just because it's the next thing on, I'm watching it because I actually want to.
