ha! more than half the voting public doesn't know their history.
everyday feels like a flashback scene of a dystopian film.

Waterworld (the film) already demonstrated that this works in a post apocalyptic word. Didnt it?

I use the original Boxee Box (not Boxee TV). I've had it since they came out some 5 or 6 years ago. It connects to your network (wired or wireless). It has streamed everything I've thrown at it, including hi-definition content. Although I do only use it on a wired connection, your experience with wi-fi may differ. Did I mention it has played every file I've thrown at it? (I've got 900+ movies and 10,000+ audio files in various formats on my PC) The box itself has an HDMI connector for your TV (along with analog connectors) and a USB port for a flash drive or portable HD. You can surf the internet with the built in browser or choose an app for various services and streaming sites (e.g. Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, MLB.com, et al). The remote is RF and has a full qwerty keyboard. Sadly, D-Link no longer makes them but they can still be found for sale under $200.00. (NOS) I've got a new "smart" TV that includes a built-in media server but doesn't compare to my box.

back in the day, sudden acceleration was caused by the driver next to you revving his engine.
