I think I'll wait for Boxee (which I love) to become available on ATV2. We don't even really use Netflix over here, but we do have a lot of TV shows available via online streaming (BBC iPlayer, Channel 4oD etc). I live in the UK so a lot of those online services like Hulu aren't available.

Would be nice to have Android apps on the TV, but I'd rather have iOS apps when and if Apple puts them on the ATV. PS - I forgot about Google TV, which I probably will not be getting, at least in its first iteration. I already have an ATV and have a Boxee Box on order. And I would buy a Roku for the best streaming content from the Internet.

I would buy a Boxee Box for streaming my own content. I would buy an ATV for Airplay and iTunes content.

However, I do not believe it has the ability to stream media from your computer. Roku has the most content (especially with their Hulu Plus announcement) at a very good price. Content is still uncertain because we don't even know for sure if it will have Netflix. It will (hopefully) play every format and allow you to stream just about whatever you want from your computer. The Boxee Box is more expensive, but has greater capability. On the other hand, content is light, streaming is only through iTunes (right now) in the formats it will accept. On top of that, it's small, light, and uses very little power. And with jailbreak possibilities, the ATV has great potential. If you have quite a few Apple devices and use iTunes, then ATV will be a great fit. Or like me, you'll probably just end up buying more than one and get a bigger HDMI switcher! LOL.ĪTV is great for Netflix and it's killer app will be Airplay. There is no all-in-one solution right now, so you really need to decide what's important. In reality, NONE of the media streamers (ATV, Boxee Box, Roku, Google TV, etc) are going to do EVERYTHING we want. My suggestion is give the jailbreak scene a month to see what is possible. Its possible some of this can come to appletv via jailbreak (or even by apple itself) but its a question of how long you want to wait. But I have used both and they provide a crapload of additional online content (hulu, mlb.com, TED TV, the network sites, etc) which may also interest you. Neither is as seemless and polished as ATV (which is saying alot since the ATV has its own issues) afterall Boxee is in Beta and Plex isnt even at version 1 yet. Plain and simply, plex and or boxee on a mac mini is going to be your most flexible and capable option.

So if this is important to you then it is not the device for you.įortunately you can re-encode that content into 720p using handbrake which there are also many forum entries about and that seems to work well.
#Jailbreak boxee box 1080p
But the one thing that will not happen, i mention again, is the ability to playback most 1080p content well. This would likely add similar capabilities found on the iPad such as apps that can play/stream almost any video file you throw at it, ability to play content back from networked drives (without the need for home sharing), etc.

Now, the jailbreak scene for this device may come about very rapidly as it has already been jailbroken and I have to imagine jailbreak apps may not be far away once someone figure out how to run/launch them. Boxee is also not available on the new ATV2 only the old one (and i heard its buggy as hell). If you read through the forum you will see that the ATV2 will not play MKV files and chokes on most 1080P content. If that was the case then it might be right but more complicated than that.
