If you prefer to tinker then perhaps a CuBox-i is for you, but if you want something that just works (and everyone in the house can use), then Vero will definitely hold up better. That's the market Vero is aimed at.

Quote:Sam still supports Apple TV, and this is a demonstration that his support for products goes above and beyond other people's,
even when other projects decide a platform is dead for seemingly financial gain.
