As a current Logitech Revue owner i just bought the Pulse after seeing this :P

I would suggest that anyone and everyone who is going to buy this, reach out to the company over social media, email, tin-can+string and tell them that this is why your buying the device.

Can you comment on the Pulse's software reliability?
A lot of Vizio Co-Star users report the Co-Star freezes often due to heat buildup caused by its small form factor. Since the Pulse is almost identical in size to the Co-Star, does it also suffer from software freezes due to heat?

I haven't really used the box all too much, but it was on for a good day straight. Temps were reported at about 60C, it's passive of course, so it's to be expected. However without the custom UI that Vizio stuck on (note: have yet to try the Co-Star 3.5.0 update), it feels less laggy, snappier to respond.

Then again, it seems to share just about the same design, with the exception of the placement of a few items on the mainboard.

Hey cj_000, thanks for the quick answer!
Can you by chance say if the Pulse supports MKV videos with AC3 surround sound?

Any chance of a walkthru for us noobs to root the pulse? I've used three different adb's and can adb connect thru the lan to the ip address of the pulse but the next step of adb root gives a device not found error. Even thought the adb connect show connection on port 5555, the adb devices command show nothing.

Thanks!

On the pulse, go to All Applications, Settings, then Applications. Hit development. Check off "Enable Remote Debugging", a message will pop up saying "your files can be modified", press ok.
Then, go to the option below that, says "Remote Debugger IP", go back, and enter your PC's local IP address, then try to re-connect with adb!

Any custom recoveries for it yet? CWM would be awesome!

So I'm sure I'm missing something but for the life of me I don't know what it is... I redownloaded the pulse_root.sh file but no difference..
Any hints would be great!
