Question of the Day: What's the most interesting small town you've visited in South Africa?
Most power supplies are dual voltage these days ... so wait till you get it before you buy a step down transformer.
last night i installed the BoxEE application for windows, if it’s the same than the actual player application, and you will be using it online, it will beat the crap out of mede8er or any other media player for that matter
Problem with the windows app it seems like you have to be online the whole time, but im not sure, I was too lazy to unplug the network cable
you guys can actually preview it for yourself, just install the application on windows and have a look, this with a 10mb line will be spectacular

I used to run it on my PC - IIRC - it works offline as well.
i was not sure, because i needed to register a username and password to log into the application, i did not know if it needed to authenticate online each time...
Wow - just checked the status on UPS
Cape Town, South Africa 04/01/2011 10:00 A.M. Arrival Scan
So from ordering on the 30th till arrival in SA...
Wonder if the SA side are going to screw it up

Keep us updated please!!

Oi! Leave me out of this...
That looks about right unfortunately, I've watched something get from Amazon to Durban in 3 days.. and take another 2 weeks to get to me about 25kms from the Distribution centre in Durban
But But but... what if it isn't and I can't find a step down transformer...and I have to wait an extra day to play
OK, checked out some more forums ... okes from UK and Aus who ordered Boxee's from the US ... 110 - 230 V input, so no prob there. You'll just need a plug converter.
Was about to check the forums.Checked on the UPS tracking site today, said they'd deliver by end of business today - phoned the number to ask if I could change location, apparently the site isn't accurate for SA - item is till at customs which takes awhile...
Currently still says:
Scheduled Delivery:
Monday, 04/04/2011, By End of Day
I wonder what recourse you have when you pay a company like UPS R700-800 for four day delivery and then it gets held by customs.
Just hope its here by the weekend, tried watching movies over my PS3 - but PC can't handle HD

What did this unit cost you in total?
Unit : R1399
Shipping : R608
Customs : R457
Total: R2464
It looks like they calculated customs on the shipping as well..
Where did you order it from?
http://more.take2.co.za/moreusa-boxee-box-by-d-link-b0038je07o.html ... R2530, but delivery time would be 4 to 6 weeks.
