we’re working on a fix.
there is a manual way for running boxee on the 2.3 firmware, so if you’re comfortable with opening a terminal and running some commands you’ll be able to get boxee running.

will post the instructions on our forum soon

I can control volume with the iPod touch now, that’s something.

Setting up my JP1 remote was very Apple-like. I don’t think it could have been any easier.

I’ve got an Airport Express but it’s right next to the stereo because there’s a wired Ethernet port back there. I might move it upstairs now or get another one. I like having my wifi access wired.

Usually you’re able to choose the speakers it uses- I’d be surprised if Apple didn’t include this function into the Apple TV. I’ve tried this at work with a Mac hooked up to some computer speakers and with three Airport Expresses connected to various speaker systems all over the place. Works really well, it even syncs up the music so that you’re listening to exactly the same point in the music, although with the more wireless speakers you set up the longer it takes to start the track.

Shame about Boxee though, I’m sure it’s a really viable alternative to the standard OS- I’ve certainly stopped using Front Row on my Mac because of it.
