Who out there is tired of satellite, what with the ever-changing prices, dropping channels basic cable has and those god-awful commercials? One might think about having a look at Boxee TV, a web-based television system that can save cash and get a lot of the same programming.
Streaming with Boxee TV
There are a lot of boxes you can choose from that connect to 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 you start challenging cable and satellite companies.
Boxee TV is a new one coming out, but it is a bit different from the rest, according to Time Magazine. The new Boxee Television 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.
You can pay $99 for the Boxee Television, making it pretty cheap, and also you only have to pay $14.99 a month if you want DVR services. That is pretty good.
Already getting an antenna
The Boxee TV comes with apps on it for VUDU, YouTube, Pandora, Vimeo and Netflix, making it really simple on consumers. It also can plug in to the cable port to be used as a DVR box. The other nice thing over it is that it has an antenna, meaning you can pick up ABC, CBS, NBC and other public broadcast stations through it.
The very best part of the Boxee TV is that you do not need any external hard drive for storage since all storage is done by uploading content onto the cloud that could be accessed at any time. It can record two programs at once as a dual-code DVR recorder, though live programs cannot be paused while you are watching them. It is more expensive than the Roku or Netgear boxes that are comparable, but having the infinite amount of storage is very tempting, according to CNET.
The box is nice because you have unlimited room for DVR recording. You will not need short term loans to pay the $14.99 fee for it more than likely.
Not available to everybody
The DVR services on the Boxee TV are pretty exciting, but only some towns have access to it at the moment, though the business does have intends to expand that in the next year, according to TG Daily. The service is offered in Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Chicago, New York and Los Angeles at the moment.
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.
