Another death nail on Google TV?

That sounds like an interesting eggcorn that I haven't heard before, probably derived from "death knell" with echos of "another nail in the coffin".<p>I see that it's been already discussed at the Eggcorn Database forum: <a href="http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1195" rel="nofollow">http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1195</a> so it's at least somewhat common<p>For reference, an eggcorn is this: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggcorn" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggcorn</a>

$99 for a box that can very effectively stream video from your NAS? Sounds like a winner to me.<p>I run Plex (a Mac-only XMPC derivative) on a Mac Mini, but $699 is a lot more than $99. If your storage is NAS already, about the only advantage the Mac Mini has over a jailbroken AppleTV2 is the ability to play Hulu through Safari and not get blocked. (Well, it's also a lot faster and mostly future-proof as new codecs are introduced.)

I've been running XBMC as my media centre for years now, first on a hacked XBox (original) and then on a hacked Apple TV (first gen).<p>It's a great piece of software, happily streaming from my NAS box, playing music, etc. Not found anything it doesn't play yet.<p>And there are remote control apps for iPhone and Android too!

One of my favorite things about XBMC is the plugins. The plugins are basically web scrapers that present content within the interface. If there isn't one you want for a particular website, build your own! They're written in python and could make a fun weekend project. Once your done commit it to the official repository.

Do you mean "nail in the coffin" or "death knell".<p>Sorry to be the grammar Nazi, just trying to help.
