480p by HDMI, 480i otherwise. HD res is supposed to come soon, the box will support it. But with only 64m of reserve memory, uh. Whatever. I love the idea of this box and the "Watch it now!" feature is great, but I'm not sure this does everything I want it to. I'd wiat until next year.
Also: HOW ABOUT SOME FUCKIN OSX COMPAITABILITY FOR INSTANT PLAY!?
-
I will jump on this the moment there is legitimate, solid HD support.
-
This would be perfect for my bedroom (still have a Sony Wega in there).
Thanks for sharing this mupepe :heartbeat :heart :heartbeat
-
damn when did this come out? i might have to jump on it and just upgrade when HD support is in.
-
Can't you just use your 360 for this? Patel made a thread about it.
-
The selection is limited to what you find in "watch it instantly" unless I'm missing something. It's a nice feature and I watched the first season of Friday Night Lights this weekend with it but that box isn't worth $100.

"DVDs are only available in their cropped 4:3 proportions--which is really irritating if you have a wide-screen TV. Another big annoyance: at least one of the TV selections we chose--Season 2 of Miami Vice--listed four episodes (out of 23) as "only available on disc."
"the box outputs video at 480i resolution."
Just stream Hulu
-
This box is worthless.
-
can you stream hulu onto a 360?

What is needed to stream to CRT tv's from computer (win xp)?

I guess just a video card with the right connections? I'm not familiar.
-
Well apparently HDMI supports 480p and not all dvd's are 4:3
-
i'm going to wait it out and see. weeds and dexter streamed to my tv though :o

Use your 360. Stop wasting your money. Or something.
-
no 360 in the bedroom, next idea?
-
Well, I was talking to Mupepe. :P

i can stream with my 360? or are you really suggesting I pay 2 dollars for an episode of shows and 3 dollars for a movie?

No, with some finesse you can stream NetFlix shit to your 360.

Do you have WMC, Mupepe?
-
no. with some finesse? how much finesse?

Can't you just use your 360 for this? Patel made a thread about it.
The 360 video marketplace has HD content, correct? The only problem I have with this is I don't live in North America, so unless Microsoft doesn't check your IP (they must), I'd have to use a proxy to connect.
I've been wanting to buy the 360 for this purpose. Can you point out the thread Patel made?
