I couldn't get it to install until I read the supported flash drive thread. It won't work with anything over 2gb. Would have been nice to see this in the instructions, would have saved me alot of time. I had to run out a 9:00pm to get a cheap flash drive. I went ahead and bought ATV flash.

It looks like it makes it easy to enable extras like external usb HDD. Not yet, wanted to know if it was worth the $49. It looks like it makes it easy to enable extras like external usb HDD.

I think I am going to like it, but I must be missing some obvious step about getting the content (Hulu and others) on my Boxee (ok, that sounded weird). Do I have to enter RSS feed addresses first? And if so, where do I find them? Is there a nice big list of them somewhere? Or better yet, is there a built in directory or guide on Boxee that will just take me to a Hulu page to watch without entering tons of links or addresses? The install was no problem, but right now I can only access shows by digging through other members' listings, and that is a long and painful process. Thanks SO much. Hi,

I also like Hulu alot, and it works well in Boxee.
