Boxee??
« on: November 20, 2010, 11:53 PM »
Has anyone heard of or tried this? The "Boxee"?

Sounds good...

Particularly, if anyone in Australia knows about it, please chime in.

Can't speak to this personally, and we're US, not Australia, but I've a student who raves about it.  It's just about all he talks about when he's over here - makes me kinda jealous - but he's somewhat less than forthcoming when queried about costs.  He just says, "It varies."  Hasn't yet quoted a price, other than to say, "It's a bunch cheaper than my cable TV was, and the pay-per-view is pretty reasonable."  Have yet to check into it, but he's certainly tempting me  ;D.

I just use the Boxee software on a normal computer to watch MLB.TV games.  Nice interface and works well.
