And there's the beautiful vudu advertisment feature: If you have a single episode of a series in a network drive, there is no view out there that will show you just what you have: If Vudu sells the rest of the episodes, they will show up on your screen, and there will always be a link to download from them, even if you already ripped the dvds.
Not entirely true...
There's a toggle when viewing Shows that lets you enable/disable content by provider - and I've unchecked Vudu which stops what you're describing, at least for me.
I've owned a BoxeeBox for nearly 1.5yrs now and a there are a few remaining issues which keep it from being great. And that's more a compliment than a bitch...
As one who is more interested in a solution for Locally-stored Content (say, 80% local and 20% other), it's pretty good, no doubt, and almost does everything I need. Almost.
So please, D-Link, take this opportunity to get it together and FINISH the BoxeeBox. What you/we have now is analogous to a Beta release, at best.
Fix the known issues, add the most requested features - and I'd buy 2 more for home, and would've given away two more for Christmas (I gave away to Roku boxes instead).

or do like Eddie Murphy says... have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.
