Boxee is the Shi*



So many of you know that my favorite product in the world is the Apple TV. I genuinelly see a future in online distribution of media content, so much so that I am constantly trying to find a way to ditch cable. Recently Boxee realesed and Alpha version of thier software that "allows" streaming content on Apple TV from Hulu. So far I have enjoyed it, and aside from my fiancee's shows like Grey's Anatomy and John and Kate plus 8, I have yet to watch tv via cable. I get NBC, Fox and others directly from Hulu and what I dont get on Hulu, I can get on iTunes for $1.99 an episode. 

Now Boxee has support for Netflix, which is pretty sweet. So not only can you get Netflix streamed to you PC, Xbox 360, now the Mac, but now even cooler the Apple TV. If you dont have an Apple TV, think about it. Blu-Ray as I said is just a last effort for optical discs, the future of media, I believe, is in online distribution. And Apple TV is one of the best options for this. 

Check out Boxee, and if you want an invite post a comment with your email, I will get you in.

Not HD, not yet anyway. But things are always evolving.

I too love my Apple TV with Boxee. Damn you Dish network and your two year contract.
