yeah...
been following smart tv innov's since the days of my 1st Boxee Box..

If I remem.
lg was aiming for updates sometime this year...
I think it's great..
longer a corp can do [such cost efficient] updates to older hardware the better...
not just for the customer either...
makes the corp look good ..real good.
like they care even
longer a customer can hang onto an old smart tv ...
the likelier they are to buy a new one from the same company [esp when they show a good track record in service, updates, longevity, etc..] when it is finally time to get a new tv...
I think lg is playing a good middle and maybe a good long game as well...
Speaking of boxee...I got an xbmc build on an sd card for one of my boxee's
the other has the boxee + hacker version put together just after the team left for samsung...
since the team and everything was snarfed up by samsung ...
I'm waiting for samsung to blow the lid off of smart tv any day now...
any day now....
just waitin'
bidin' my time...
any day now...

wait a sec..
I just did a little looky-looing...
criminey!
Am I out of the loop...
they got kodi -helix for my boxee box ...
gotta spend some time putting that on...
