Who out there is tired of satellite, what with the ever-changing prices, dropping channels simple cable has and those god-awful commercials? One might consider having a look at Boxee TV, a web-based television system that can save money and get a ton of the same programming.
Boxee Television makes it hard on cable and simple on consumers
There are a ton of boxes you can choose from that connect with Netflix, Hulu and more and have some sort of DVR function for recording. You just have to hook the box up to Wi-Fi, and also you start challenging cable and satellite corporations.
Boxee Television is a new one coming out, but it is a bit different from the rest, according to Time Magazine. The new Boxee TV utilizes cloud storage for DVR recordings, which makes it very different from the Television box it released and failed with a couple of years back.
The new Boxee TV also isn't terribly expensive, beginning at $99 for the box. Adding DVR services is $14.99 per month, which is more than some competing models but much less than it would cost with satellite or cable.
Simple cable all you want
Users can use the Boxee TV as a DVR box since it has a cable port. It may also be used to get NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, CBS and other publicly broadcast stations because it has an antenna. It has apps on it for YouTube, Pandora, VUDU, Netflix, Vimeo and more.
According to CNET, Boxee TV is great because it does not have an on-board memory and does not call for an external hard drive like other boxes require, such as the newly released Simple.TV. The system does not allow for pausing programs while watching them live on Television, but it does have a dual-code DVR recorder and can record two things at once.
That said, unlike DVR systems that are hampered by the memory, cloud storage is unlimited. However, getting the DVR service does cost the $14.99 monthly charge, though that's hardly enough to send a person out for short term loans to cover.
Very limited in the beginning
The Boxee Television comes with DVR, but that is only accessible in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., New York, Los Angles, Chicago, Dallas and Houston right now. The business promises to expand that in the next year, but not every person has access to the DVR services.
Everyone else can only use it as a streaming device, until DVR services are available everywhere. At that it fails, since other set-top boxes for those who want to cut the cord are much cheaper and have more or the same streaming native apps.
