I don't think anything works with Apple tbh.

Anyone, aside from the barrier to entry and the content, is that no one stocked the automation bits. Like someone said earlier, I also like the gadgets, cameras etc.

Also a had a retail store say 'no' when I asked to SEE the device just after launch. 'You have to read the box ...'

I have one, i still enjoy it though. I mostly use the movie-rental service, since my internet streaming (i'm with afrihost) are not able to stream HD movies on-demand when i want to. So a satellite based service that pre-downloads all the blockbuster movies in advance definitely worked out great for my movie fix.

They should've hooked people on free content and then expand their renting options. I don't think renting is as exclusive as always-on content or broadcast content. They could've done this with an android box and an empty warehouse, they didn't need the big guns.
 
There is expensive good stuff then there is expensive crap. Node is the later
 
You one way to avoid expensive streaming platforms is to just stream a dvd on demand to your tv or tablet. Similar technology is already available with the Redbox service. Of course the last mile connection is always the crux.
 
this will really anger many of those who paid the initial 3499 price. Looks like they will only refund to the value of R1999
 
Its admirable what they all try to, compete with Multichoice but I think its too little too late I know my folks would never take down the dstv dish to put up a top tv, node or the etv thing never mind the swap the decoder that's like standard with the tv stand.
 
I would not mind getting my hands on a node to screw around with.
