Revue and Accessories

[pkohler01]

I've been a Boxee user for a very long time now. When the Boxee Box eventually came out, I replaced the PC's I had attached to my TV's used to run Boxee with Boxee Boxes. 

While I love Boxee, the shortcoming I encountered with it was news. That's why I bought the Revue. 

I've been very happy supplementing Boxee with Google TV however, I wanted to take it one step further. 

I took the HDMI out from my Boxee Box and plugged it into the HDMI in on my Revue. Sadly, the only way to configure it was as a generic video source. This means that I can't use the Logitech Revue remote keyboard to control Boxee. 

While I know that Logitech is discontinuing the Revue, I couldn't find any Google run support for Google TV. So I find myself here hoping that someone at Logitech will see this and forward it as a feature request to Google. 

Sure, a Boxee Android app may eventually be available at some point in the future for Google TV devices but, I really like my Boxee Boxes and the hardware features it offers (such as plugging an SD card from my camera into it) and most likely wouldn't replace my boxes with the app.

To anyone at Logitech who might see this, if you could help me out by sending this over to Google I would be very grateful. Thank you!

I think the major problem with controlling the Boxee Box is that it uses a proprietary RF technology instead of IR.
