You can stream music, radio, youtube, nhl, mlb, nfl, etc. as well as use it for hulu or Netflix, you can display everything on your iphone or ipad on your tv. Games, etc.
I have a Boxee with an external hard drive, download all my movies onto it...Boxee you can stream and do all that shit...streaming sucks btw...Boxee plays MKV files...Apple doesnt...lame
its not the same thing, not even close. yes its more but it should be...you can use it with torrents, apple you cant..which is why apple tv is pointless
