The disappointing thing with all of these boxes is the apparent inability to watch live streams. I'd like to stream DVB channels over the network and look at CCTV feeds, but it seems the only standalone devices that are capable of doing this are effectively IPTV set top boxes.

We bought an WD Live for work and were very impressed with the UI and the quality of the video output. I've got the Boxee software and it is pretty impressive, but the inability to just pick up SAP announcements on the local network is disappointing.
