    Question Boxee Box expectation/question concerning Netflix

    I've been considering getting a Boxee Box so I've been previewing Boxee on my laptop (version 0.9.23.15885 for Windows). Other than for local media viewing, one of the main reasons I want a Boxee Box is for Netflix.

    I've noticed from testing Netflix that New Arrivals says "No results found." and that really isn't a big deal but what (for me) is making Netflix somewhat unusable is the fact that episode listings for shows I'm following are displayed out of order.

    Is this just a problem on my side? and if not, is this (software version) the same way I can expect the Boxee Box to behave?

    "thanks in advance"

    The Netflix app on the Boxee Box is completely different: newer and updated and is nothing like the app you see in the download version of Boxee software.

    You can't go by the Boxee software and Boxee Box software, they are actually two different things. I've never had a problem using netflix on Boxee box though.

    Netflix on the boxee box is far far better than the one on the software side. You'll find it works quite well, on par with netflix on the Wii or on the xbox360 (both of which I have as well.)

    Hi

    Netflix is finally coming to the UK (was announced a week or two back), does anyone know if the Boxee App will also be updated to allow it to work in the UK?

    I'm guessing the answer is the same as it is for Latin America as covered in the FAQ:

    Netflix is now available in in Latin America. When will it be available on the Boxee Box for Latin American customers?

    Unfortunately there is no ETA as to when the Netflix app on the Boxee Box will be available in Latin America.
    When Netflix becomes available on the Box for other countries, it will be announced by Boxee and they more than likely won't say anything about it until then.
