Re: HD media player - consensus on the best?

Is the Boxee/XMBC experience pretty similar? I've just started trying Boxee
out and it seems ok so far but I was wondering if there are a lot of
options in XBMC that aren't available in Boxee.
I like the ability in Boxee to use the iPhone/iPod touch as a remote but
I've just noticed that that's also possible in XBMC.
