I just bought one at best buy for $199.00. Greatest invention ever. You can watch anything you want from new TV shows to extremely old one's and absolutely any movie. There's no monthly fee either.

    It's awesome, i'm even thinking about getting rid of my cable. The only thing is...new episodes of some TV shows are delayed a day or two. You can also browse the internet with it and watch any you tube video's, which is great for watching PJ on a big screen TV.

    Don't you still need some sort of subscription to watch most movies? I was under the impression that Boxee was similar to using Hulu with the addition of apps including Netflix. I know there's no way they have absolutely any movie. If one of these services starts offering ESPN and HBO, I'll seriously consider dropping cable. Until then, no dice.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    You just have to download an app called Navi-X (which is free) and absolutely any movie is in there and most networks are in there such as HBO, not sure about ESPN though as I'm not much of a sports fan. You are right though apps such as Netflix you do have to pay a subscription for.

    I'm surprised that works. Interesting.

    I've never had a problem with it, it updates itself every once in awhile. 3 or 4 of my friends have it as well and they are more than satisfied with it.

    Not all no. A lot of the movies are.
