There isn't a whole lot to judge based on what's been shown of the BB2, certainly a lot of people [plus fans of Boxee] have been burnt so it will be difficult to turn that around.

The new remote...

Thats software decoding, there arent any 10-bit capable hardware decoders out there.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade or anything but the CE4100 uses a GMA 500 chip [aka PowerVR SGX545], the linux drivers for these are allegedly notorious, even Boxee's paired down UI struggles...

QNAP NAS should be perfectly fine with SMB on ethernet network, no need for NFS/AFP or even UPnP. If for some reason you do have problems use NFS as QNAP do NFS properly unlike some other NAS.

I went with overall good gadget, for what I use it for it works well enough now. While network media players have a limited life span, look at the WDTV one of the most popular ones they are launching...

If XBMC was possible under Android they would have done it by now, the developers have repeatedly stated there are technical issues blocking it. That said they are keeping tabs on Android and when it...

You cant, Boxee controls what software runs on the Box. You can post a bug in Boxee JIRA along with a sample of the video file but the odds of Boxee fixing that are low to zero. Run the video from...

Boxee Box doesn't properly support MPEG-4/MP4 videos particularly the ones generated from digital cameras. It was reported ages ago and never fixed.

There's nothing wrong with your videos, you...

Plex has it's own pros and cons, Plex don't make any set top box of their own so they don't have an equivalent product on the market, Plex also requires their media server running to make it work...

Unless you can get the same chip I doubt you could replace it as only the driver for that chip is present, might be a whole lot easier to get an ethernet to wireless bridge which you can always...

DTS-MA dropouts are a long standing problem, you'll have to stick to AC3/DTS tracks instead. There is a software fix but Intel wont release it to Boxee, see this petition for more info.

Do this and you wont have to type in username and password for samba

Use MakeMKV (recommended) or VOB2MPG to rip the DVD's, they will extract & copy the movie to a .mkv or .mpg container and once named properly Boxee will scan the media files.

You cant use UPnP with Boxee for scanning you must use SMB, NFS or AFP.

If you have a Synology NAS apply the settings below then in Boxee add source browse via SMB, you can also enable the NFS/AFP...

The Boxee Box appears to work best with linux NAS, with WHS you never really know & seeing as your already on an ethernet network and it still buffers then you don't have a lot of options. Something...

Maybe but I don't think the long delay is solely down to UI changes. Hopefully they've been working on something more substantial than just Cloudee and some UI tweaks.

I believe the problem is with Philips TV's they have a very bad HDMI handshaking system over generations going back a few years, it's not isolated to Boxee I've seen plenty of devices from AppleTV's...

Well as long as it's not Intel it should be a step up from Boxee Box. It has to be an Arm based reference platform to compete against the the likes of Roku and WDTV Live & stand a chance of being...

It most certainly isn't, don't get me wrong I would love this to be true but HTML5 does not meet the needs of many online sites particularly those with an interest in advertising and protecting their...

That and ....
* XBMC team have zero interest in Boxee Box.
* Even if you could get XBMC running on it would likely fair no better than Boxee, some of the significant underlying problems are caused...

Try pulling the power from the back of the box, that usually restores the pairing of the remote when you turn it on again, you can also plug in a usb keyboard and it will work in the recovery...

The Boxee Box will never support Blu-ray 3D as it requires a hardware upgrade, for that to you'd be looking at a Boxee Box 2 whenever they come out.

Try turning on game mode for that input on the...

If you see two images that sounds like ghosting which is usually the fault of the TV. Did you set the 3D mode to SBS in the settings/general/display of Boxee ?

There's nothing unique about SBS...

If you have a lot of services enabled maybe the NAS is running out of RAM for it's buffering ???, try disabling a few services like Photostation, Audiostation, DLNA media server or anything you don't...

Not possible, Airplay mirroring uses Apples fairplay DRM system which resides only on Apple devices. Someone would have to break Apple's DRM system to get it working.

Boxee do not license Airplay...
