I still feel like Boxee has nothing to offer me as I don't care about non-local content. Reading through this thread I see you lot talking about local content quite a bit. XBMC is still the choice for me. If it's in a set-top box it might be able to be the choice for you.

As has been discussed many times in previous threads, you can't build a box like the Boxee Box using XBMC or anything else for $200. I know you'll then come back to me with a list of parts, but remember you also have to include the unique RF remote and all the cables wink

I don't have anything against XBMC, and I'm sorry if you feel it's not getting enough love. Who's keeping you from starting your own thread on XBMC? This forum doesn't require popularity on a subject to start a thread. Hell, just look at this one and you'll see that 90% of it is a PM between Bruno and me smile

Lastly, I think Boxee is aiming (whether it's right or not) for the mass consumer market with their software. From what I've seen of XBMC, it's not something any of my clients could use. Now, I don't think Boxee is there either, but it's closer and I think they could figure it out.
