Boxee makes online video even better
I am a big believer in the online TV movement. With more and more shows being displayed online, I have found myself using sites like HULU . These sites provide me with a vast amount of entertainment so naturally I signed up for a Netflix account so I could enjoy even more online entertainment. Viewing online movies and TV has currently been limited to me viewing content on my computer, until now.
I recently got a cable to connect my laptop to my TV so I could stream shows and view them on my TV set. This initially was working great for me, except I hated getting up to go to a new website and view new content. I guess I am really lazy or I just hate being thrown back to my childhood when my dad would treat me like a remote, so I looked for a better solution. While searching for a way to stream Netflix videos, I came across Boxee .
Boxee is one of the greatest Open Source software projects I have ever used. It provides a great, user friendly interface, that is so simple I think that even my parents could figure it out. It provides me a full screen menu of the best internet tv sites along with the ability to stream netflix videos. I can control all of the navigation through my mouse, so I never have to get up. I can even rate video and allow people to track what I am viewing. The system searches many different internet sources to download cover art for music, song lyrics, movie information, ect. Every day I seem to find more and more things about Boxee that I just love.
