    Re: Netflix, I'm sure as much a relief for Boxee team as for us. But, I'm actually more excited about these two:

    * Support Dolby Digital TrueHD bit streaming.
    * Updated drivers for external IR remotes. Now supporting “Windows Vista class” remotes.

    Using netflix in canada login works fine but

    I go to stream a movie i Get the following:
    This device cannot instantly stream netlfix in your area. Visit Neflix.ca/NRD


    When I go through my VPN to the USA and try the netflix app again it logs me into the Canada Netflix instead the USA one?

    quick thoughts on netflix, unfortunately not positive.

    the play/pause button on the remote doesn't work - the select button controls playback
    no in app volume control - in fact the up dpad exits out of the app
    no resume function after exiting and restarting
    not a fan of the menu/UI

    positives - it's here and seems to be functional with playback. hopefully some of the above issues can be addressed.

    edit : the resume function showed up after i restarted the box. avner says the play/pause button thing is not in boxee's control

    Re: "Windows Vista class" remotes, what is Boxee recommending? Any Vista MCE remote or certain brand(s)/model(s)? Thanks.
