Is your '.' key sticky? Half of your sentences end with 2 periods; it's very distracting.

You don’t need the support of Sony to run boxee on the PS3. You also don’t need to install linux on the PS3.

All you need to do is include a DLNA server with boxee (check out TVersity) which can stream video to the PS3.

For those that are interested, this also works with the XBox360.

I have heard it is possible to run Boxee on the PS3. Could you point me in the right direction to see how? Let me know.

I’m curious what percentage of people answered that they didn’t want yet another box…. That was a preliminary question to the game console question.

I don’t know if you’ve looked at specifics, but http://www.pchdtv.com has a great 1080p tuner card and is open source. I use it myself and it’s great. The price will go down with bulk, but this feature alone I would pay $100 for.
In terms of the remote, please make it very simple. I would much rather have it look like the apple remote than the media center remote with 50 buttons. The thing I like about boxee is that you can do almost everything with 6 buttons (up, down, left, right, select, menu), so, for example, rather than having numbers on the remote I would rather just hit a button and see my channels and select from there.

I think Wii would fit best to boxee. Too bad there is hardware limitations.

My thought would be to buy a $300 eee box with Linux on it and install Boxee. At least, that’s my thought. Not sure how Boxee makes money in that case though and I don’t have a spare $300 right now. I also don’t have a spare $199 for a Boxee Box, sadly But if I did, I’d be thinking more like dropping an extra $100 for a more versatile device. But that’s just me.

How about an iPhone app? I’ve got Joost, by itself, on my iPhone. I’d just about pee myself if I could have all of the programming Boxee delivers on my iPhone. I even use the Boxee remote for Jailbroken iPhones (which is awesome except for the black buttons–they’re hard to see). Keep up the great work, guys!
