i think the idea of the Box is that as content producers continue to evolve, they will essentially make null the need for a DVR, since all the content on TV’s will be available via the internet somehow.
how much that comes together has yet to be seen, but i wouldn’t be surprised to see some awesome premium partnerships exclusive to the Boxee Box when it’s released. (hey, the box has to offer SOMETHING extra, right? Otherwise Robinhoody’s got a good point)
sounds like a pretty cool deal. hopefully you’ll let us know how you like it when you get it!

Curious, does Amulet utilize the speech recognition engine/profiles in Windows 7? I’ve already trained my convertible laptop and would like to use my existing speech profile. Also does this work on extenders?
[/quote]yes, it uses the native Win7 speech recognition, and you can toggle and switch profiles on the fly via voice commands.
for extenders, the IR portion will work obviously, but the voice won’t because the extender can’t support the USB dongle required for RF.
sorry, by SPDIF i didn’t mean actually connecting the SPDIF cable, but just selecting hte checkbox in the audio panel.
betcha it outsells the Roku in no time. Especially when so much traffic flows through the Apple store for much higher cost items, a $99 box is basically an add-on that they’ll be able to upsell.
i’m on an Intel H55 board setup, and i can play my ATSC WTV files with AC3 just fine. i should note i’m on x64 Win7, although taht shouldn’t matter.
so to confirm, if you try to watch LIVE TV on your WMC then it crashes? What if you enable SP/DIF instead of passthrough with the HDMI, does it process the DD signal?
Here’s engadget’s hands on snapshots of it: http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/01/apple-tv-2010-hands-on/
