    Default Error Downloading App

    Every few days I will turn on my boxee and try to open the Netflix app (or any other app) and it will say that there's an error downloading the app. I will reboot the system, try to log out/in, and it keeps saying the same thing.

    In order to fix this, I have to factory reset the boxee box. Every. Few. Days. It's getting really old really quick and I've looked online and couldn't really find anything of value except to do a factory reset to correct the problem. Obviously this isn't a permanent solution. Anyone else have any issues with this?

    Yes but I just keep trying to to download until it finally does (can't say I've had it happen with Netflix specifically but certainly with other apps). So... multiple tries doesn't do the trick?

    No. In fact, after I reboot the device and go back into the app selection screen, all of the icons are blank (like the Netflix icon is just this gray box). I will reboot the system over and over again and it won't work until I do a factory restore. Which takes forever, considering I have to download the patches :/

    I wonder if you don't have a bad box?

    Also, it should be upgrading directly to v1.0.4 -- if you have a thumbdrive, it might be faster and easier to do this after a factory reset: http://support.boxee.tv/entries/3288...boxee-software
