I still have until the end of the month to decide whether or not to keep the Boxee Box, as in its current form there is very little value in it over the other players currently in my setup.įor anyone interested, below are the release notes for SP3. Unfortunately, if you are a current Boxee Box owner ( as I am) or a potential owner understand that for the foreseeable future you will be a beta tester.

#BOXEE FIRMWARE UPDATE 2012 SOFTWARE#

With CES now over this may be a good time for them to drop all the marketing nonsense and focus solely on getting their software where it needs to be. It is great to see the amount of enthusiasm the Boxee team has over their product and their willingness to communicate with their user base. At some point their approach of over promising and under delivering is going to hurt their credibility in the eyes of current and potential consumers, if it hasn’t already. My concern with Boxee (as I mentioned briefly at the end of my post here) is that the Boxee Team may be taking on more then they can handle, especially since there are still significant bugs present in their software.

Some of the more significant issues I am reading about include web videos not working, DTS-MA audio dropouts (this is a known bug yet the release notes for the firmware update notes it as fixed?), and increased buffering when playing back local content (once again, a known bug that was fixed for many previously but has now regressed). Also, one item that was originally promised with this firmware was Vudu, yet once again it has been delayed. Reading through the AVSForum thread it appears the latest firmware update actually broke more then it fixed. However, as quickly as the firmware appeared within a few hours it was pulled.

Boxee did keep their word and released the firmware update right before midnight. As Sunday moved along (and at the time I went to bed around 9PM EST) there was no sign of a release which led to a lot of grumblings from current Boxee Box owners about broken promises. Boxee had made several promises over Twitter and via their blog that the firmware update would be released by the end of the week. There has been a lot of talk about the upcoming firmware release for the Boxee Box (called SP3). Well, it looks like the folks at Boxee are already making a splash in 2011, just not in the manner in which I am sure they hoped.
