If TiVo jumped in they'd only have more boxes that no one would buy, using a 10 year old interface.

As far as Roku having this or that and a price point. It doesn't matter. Roku doesn't have a name. No one except some random geek is going to buy a Roku when it's sitting next to an AppleTV at the same price point. If it was half the price of the Apple TV then it would get some additional sales from people who are very frugal. In every case, investing money in the Roku solution is throwing money away. Might as well just put it in an envelope and send it to me, I'll put it to better use. Roku has only a poor track record for supporting its products and a fantastic track record for abandoning its products.

Yes, Boxee may be the best of the worst. That doesn't make me happy about it. The current software is lacking.
