FINALLY a network internet access devise. The interface is very intuitive for a PC interface (Apple fans will think it crude) BUT the silver lining is that I syncs right up with my PC and my multiple PHOTO, VIDEO, MUSIC hard drives. Personally I think it is kind of cute in it's own quirky way. Been watching Boxee reviews past 6 months and decided take the plunge. But the bummer was no PC networking compatibility. Tried the ROKU last fall, awkward interface and laggie streaming even on CAT5. I will give it a 7 out of 10 at this time. When the Boxee Box can play media continuously, then I will give my WD Live away as a free gift, but as for now, both share a space in my entertainment system. One other thing that the Boxee Box does that my WD Live is lacking is the ability to play certain video files, like those from youtube. If I am wrong and someone has been able to do 1080p through their WD Live, please explain how you were able to do that. The most the WD Live will recognize is 720p. Boxee Box streams 1080p bluray quality videos. And when you do stream videos wirelessly, only the Boxee Box can view 1080p videos. For my WD Live, I had to purchase a USB wireless from Buffalo which took up one of the USB inputs. What the Boxee Box has that the WD Live does not have is built-in wireless. I heard through the grapevine that the Boxee Box will have a upload to allow this feature, but I'm still waiting for it. The WD has the ability to continuously play media files where the Boxee Box plays one file at a time and you will need to manually select the next file. Why, you may ask? WD has functions that the Boxee Box does not have (yet). I have the WD Live (I put both right next to each other) and still use the WD Live. The Boxee Box is an impressive little Media device.
