It's as Matt has pointed out, in addition to possibility that local source payback just won't get as much attention as it might need, to address deficiencies, fix bugs and of course expand the feature set.

I've previously mentioned a number of other things, including, the inability to filter out articles when sorting, almost non-existant parental controls, impossible to add home movies or commercial direct-to-video movies, impossible to add or modify the metadata associated with movies and TV show episodes (covers, descriptions, etc.), in many cases you can't use its built-in correction mechanism to tell it that a particular file is something else (in the case of mis-identity), etc..

But generally speaking, yes, it currently offers a better balance of features than any other box out there. That's why I've decided to take a chance on it as well.
