I love my little Boxee v1 box. I may be a developer and I may love technology, but I utterly despise anything remotely related to hi-fi, and I want my stuff as plug-and-play as possible. My supposed "SmartTV" from Samsung sucked (aside from the iPlayer integration, which worked really well) -- but the boxee v1 worked a treat. Plug. Scan. Play.
The QWERTY remote was icing on the cake, to be honest.
Glad to see Samsung taking over; maybe now Netflix will work in the UK on it.
