The clunkiest bit of GUI I've come across so far using Boxee for a couple of hours is when reviewing the media info pulled down from allmusic.com. If there is a particularly long review to scroll down I have to select the down navigation button and then hit enter, which makes the whole review go down one screen worth.
This feels clunky enough, but if you want to go back up again then you need to press up to select the up button and then hit enter again. This seems like an unnecessary extra step.
Rather than having to switch between these two little up and down arrow buttons and then press enter why not have the user select the bar itself, press up makes it go up and pressing down makes it go down. This removes the need to hit enter to make it move.
