Der er netop blevet frigivet en ny firmware til Boxee Box‘en, som retter en lang række bugs. Der er med andre ord tale om en lidt større firmware opdatering som er en af de nødvendige af slagsen.
Jeg har kørt med den nye firmware i få dage, og det mest tydelige er designet og navigeringen på Boxee Box der har fået en opdatering, så det kører lidt mere glidende og det er lidt mere cool at se på.
Der er også kommet nogle nye funktioner i forhold til at kunne sortere indhold, også på genre og andre småting.
Listen af bugs der er rettet er dog den længste, og selvom jeg endnu kun har set 2 film på Boxee Box siden opdateringen, virker den mere stabil og video loades og steames mere stabilt via trådløs forbindelse.
