I very rarely ever say flat out not to buy something that I was so excited about in the first place. Well this is that one time this year.

Do Not Buy the Boxee TV.

OK, so the first one I bought was simply dead out of the box. Plug it in - absolutely, nothing. No response, no flicker, nada.

So I went to back to Walmart, and get a new replacment.

Over the course of 2 weeks in testing:

Consistently failed to record scheduled recordings.
Failed to produce a TV image the last 3 days of testing.
Streaming recordings on my FIOS (75 Down / 35 Up) was like trying to watch an HD stream on dial-up = frustrating.
No less than 3 software updates during the 2 weeks, still unusable.
Included antennae was all but useless.
Not able to schedule or start recording from the unit - must schedule online.
Very few channels can be recorded in Los Angeles Area.
Monthly fees to use the DVR feature = $15 / month after free trial

On the positive side, the HD tuner with a good signal produced very good picture quality.

The Boxee TV simply is not ready. It feels more or less like an alpha product, not even suitable for beta testing. Steer clear of this until they fix it.
