Digital Home Thoughts: Boxee Box Review; I Still Have No Idea What is the Big Deal

"The highly anticipated release of the Boxee Box is finally upon us! Since its debut at CES in January 2010, the thought of a relatively cheap consumer electronics device that could take the place of a typical media PC was indeed attractive. While most likely initially targeted at those already quite familiar with the Boxee (or XBMC) interface, it is likely the sub-$200 device will bring an entire new market of casual over-the-top video users into the foray."

So it is a small appliance that streams video from a computer to the TV. Given the hype, I assume it does it in a seamless way that blows all other products out of the water. Given I have not watched anything on the television in over ten years, this product misses the mark for me. The review is very favourable though... again I'm going to assume this is the product to get for its type?
