I was testing it on my iMac yesterday but found that it interfered with my alarm clock software, Awaken this morning. So until I do some more reading up, I'll have to uninstall it for now.

Sounds pretty cool, but my MacPro is in my home office while my television is in the living room. Can I access boxee via Apple TV, or must I have a computer set up in my living room and attached to the television in order for it to work?

As I point out in this article, you can put boxee ON your Apple TV. No need to worry about accessing it via your Mac Pro.

I have it on ATV and it looks great however most of the internet content is US only, making it all a bit pointless.

Sounds cool, but I need an invitation to try it on my Apple TV. If you're feeling generous, email me (scott.piggott {at} gmail.com)

I've loaded Boxee onto my 2 Apple TV's. It's mostly a welcome addition and really expands the capability. Apple should get on board with this and support it.
Two issues, one, video's are often slow to stream, even over a 10mb connection. Two, you can't view R rated movies on Hulu since, as far as I know, you can't sign into to Hulu on Boxee.
Any ideas?
