"I wish Boxee didn't crash so much."

Sadly true. And Plex, the main alternative, crashes as much, but in different ways. No more Front Row in Lion. I think Apple want us to buy Apple Tv...

Also agree about Boxee, though I still love it. Not least because it's the only device in the UK (PS3 with US PS Store account excepted) that offers access to MLB.TV subscription.

Ever tried using Plex? (Not saying that's perfect, but in 2,5yrs of usage, and 24/7 on, it has yet to crash on me).

From the comment you're replying to:

xbmc is ok enough. It handles 95% of stuff.

XBMC er here as well. Boxee might turn around their issues with their next release but, it loves to crash right now. XBMC, not a one crash

I've fed certain videos to XBMC that consistently caused it to crash, this was a year+ ago though, so maybe they fixed it.
