Not too long ago, I got a Popbox to stream movies and podcasts from my media server. I love it, I really do. In fact, I have been thinking about dropping cable because most of the time I am watching Internet programming on Hulu or podcasts.
Recently, I started playing with Boxee. Boxee is a grown up version of the Xbox Media Center app that you can install on Windows or an old Xbox console. It’s a simple application that aggregates endless Internet video content so that you can watch it on your computer.
Right now, you can only install it on Apple or Ubuntu – both of which are extremely easy. You don’t need to unzip and compile – just edit the sources list, update and apt-get. They’re getting a Windows version ready for distribution as well!
For more information or to sign up, check out boxee.tv. If you’ve used it, let us know your favorite programming!
