Vizio CoStar: Broken, Working, Happy, Pissed?

Just finished getting mine set up for a kitchen tv project. The main criteria was that it had a web browser and a decent form of control. Very satisfied so far.

On a side note, anyone see where you go to change the wallpaper? I feel quite dumb for asking.

Besides the long wait for the uber-terrible Smart Post shipping, my device has been fine. This is my first Google TV device and I am please. I hope they can speed up the browser in future updates and I know more apps will be coming. So far Able Remote makes it worth the purchase b/c I can control my TV w/ my Nexus 7. Waiting patiently for the Play TV update that's supposedly in the works. I am annoyed that my Blu Ray surround sound won't seem to work with the remote. I tried all the generic codes and have been searching online for manual entries for the past few days w/ no success. Until I remedy that, I'll still prob watch Netflix and Amazon on my Xbox so I can have my surround sound.
 
Wanted to update my answers...I received my replacement and it has worked well for about a month now. Wish I could say it was hands down better than my revue but I can't.
It does the job of cord cutting/streaming much like my revue...with a lot of hand holding and TLC (Cache Cleaner/pulling plug to restart).
I think it has several things that are slightly better than the revue (netflix app) but one or two that are worse (like the stock media player).
Oh well...here's hoping the Nexus Q turns into a Google made Google TV box!
 
I have had no problems with my CoStar so far. I have had it about three weeks. I have to reboot once in awhile when it doesn't
respond but no big deal. I love the YouTube app and surfing the web on my TV. The only complaint I have is that most of the
Apps at the Google Store are not compatible.
