It's the end of November from what I've seen on the Canadian pre-order page at Best-Buy.

I thought about blocking a URL to prevent those episodes from showing up, but the only URL that Boxee needs to hit for adding those items is also the URL it needs to hit to know it's online and use its apps. The URL is owned by Amazon and registered by Amazon Legal Dept.

The other issues that I have with it are that you can't easily make corrections if Boxee doesn't want you to. You're limited by what IMDB provides and how Boxee has tied into them. So you can't supply your own artwork, etc. IMO, the thing should have been implemented such that any metadata you have, including artwork, could override what it pulls from the net.
