Boxee TV: This Media Streamer Is Now A Cloud DVR
Boxee’s origins were humble: once a free-to-download media centre app for computers and Apple TVs, the software evolved into a full-blown media streaming box for home theatres, and a powerful one at that (if ultimately flawed). But it was still sequestered from the main TV experience. With Boxee TV, we get one step closer to seamlessly merging the media streaming, channel surfing, and TV hoarding experiences.
Cloudee: Boxee Wants To Be The Instagram Of Video
Given its start as a little open-source project, Boxee has done very well for itself as a hub for streaming video.

Vudu HD Streaming Is Live On Boxee Boxes
A new update just brought Vudu’s collection of HD streaming movies – some 4000 of them in all – to Boxee Boxes. More movies! Never a bad thing. These ones arrive in 1080p with Dolby Digital surround sound, and they’ll cost Boxee owners $US2 a pop for two-night rentals. The Boxee team says they’re still on track for an update that’ll brings Netflix to the set-top box later this month, too. When it rains it pours. [Boxee]
Boxee Box: Now With Less Bugs Thanks To Firmware Update Magic!
As Jason noted in his review, the Boxee Box was a really good local media streamer, but the software was also pretty damn buggy. Well hopefully that will change for the better now that Boxee has issued their first firmware update. Not only does it offer 30 bug fixes, it adds improvements to navigational and sorting elements in the UI.
