I picked up a Boxee Box about a month ago. I thought it was easy to get started with and find my files over the network. I ended up having to rename a few of my movies, mostly just adding the year. I also found out if it doesn't load up all you files then you should delete the share and thumbnails and readd it and it should work.
File support was a slight problem. The ts and m2ts files I was making with my HD PVR would start skipping about an hour into them. I contacted Boxee support and was told that they were having issues with them. Some of them I was able to remux as mpeg files with MKV2VOB, a program made for the Ps3. Others I had to burn (to the harddrive) as a AVCHD disc and then rip with DVDFAB as a mkv. None of this altered the quality, but I was able to play my hd files.
What I didn't expect was how much the wife and kids would like it. Pandora and old tv shows and cartoons are streaming all the time. Boxee Box, we like it.
