Looking for a second HTPC for my TV downstairs. The Xbox360 just doesn't cut it for streaming HD video and I need to find a new solution. Boxee looks interesting, however at 199, it is 80 dollars more expensive than the Apple TV. There is a major saving grace for the Boxee in that, unlike with Apple TV, I would not need to Jailbreak it and install XBMC. I'm open to third options, however I want to stay within a $200 budget, so that rules out mini HTPC's like those made by Zotac. Does anyone currently use an Apple TV or Boxee and can give me some input about any issues they've had?
You can look into a Roku, but I think Boxee is a very good one. I had a Apple TV and quite honestly, it's pretty useless.
