Re: First look: boxee

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.

Re: First look: boxee

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)

Re: First look: boxee

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?
