Shame to hear that about V2, I didn't know it existed. My D-Link Boxee box is frustrating, but lovely. There's a huge list of things I'd change about it if I was creating it (from a software point of view that is), but overall I prefer it to any of the alternatives I've seen, the remote is great, and I'll keep using it for a while. But sad to think that it most likely won't be seeing new software updates (I presume).

I have a D-Link Boxee, and it just got less and less stable over time. I switched to XBMC (openelec) on a Raspberry Pi a while back and haven't looked back.

As a bonus, XBMC interfaces with your TV's remote over hdmi, so you won't even need an extra remote, very wife / gf friendly.
