Do I return my Boxee Box for a Google TV Logitech Revue?

Got a Boxee Box from Best Buy 4 days ago and its been alright honestly. Love the interface and I've been able to share some media from my iMac. Last night however was a really bad experience for me. I was trying to stream a video from my iMac over the network to Boxee Box and would receive loading errors and could not connect to file source errors. Seeing other people have the same issue online wasnt too helpful.

I dont have cable TV (being a college student) so I'm trying my best to substitute the little TV I watch with internet TV however even the Boxee Box applications arent that good IMO. Sure I watch Netflix but as far as Live video of news or sports, its really limited. By all means if I'm missing something and Boxee Box can do more than what I've seen please let me know! Otherwise would getting a Logitech Revue be a worthy alternative? I'd like to make the decision semi soon so I can get my money back.

The Revue can do what that does but for much cheaper so....

It has to pay for Hulu Plus. The Revue is sluggish.
And a Roku box handles all the streaming stuff anyway, and for cheaper than a Revue still.


And the Revue could still end up a dead product, whereas a PC will always have access to the streaming video sites.

However, it sounded like the OP wanted Boxee Box for streaming local videos. In that case, Boxee Box is the best product on the market for that purpose, but a PC is better still.
