It would be interesting to know what Boxee's relationship is with Dlink at this time. This probably explains the vagueness people are talking about in relation for new SDK\Hardware\Intel Audio fix. Only time will tell.

Here's the specs for it.

Shame it doesn't do local files or have a web browser or have a Plex client.

Personally I think I'd rather add an additional $35-$40 and get the 3rd gen WD Live TV as it has a bunch more features.

It doesn't list alot for the specs.. It only says DD+ certified. What does that mean? It does mention 5.1 channel audio. But what does that mean? Does it decode the audio for multichannel PCM output or does it only bitstream it? Does it output 1080P24? or only 1080P60?

I guess for only $48 at Walmart online it is a decent deal. But you could also spend a little more on a Roku 2 and have many, many more internet streaming options.

I see my local Walmarts have it in stock. I wonder if it would be worth it to try one out and see how it works?
