Boxee announces Boxee Live TV

While Boxee has been making waves in the Internet video space and helping people make the switch over from cable for a few years now, they still recognize that cable offers certain shows that Internet TV simply can’t. So what are they planning on doing? Available in January, Boxee will be shipping their new Live TV stick, an antenna add on for Boxee Boxes that will give free access to your favorite cable shows.

Boxee announces Grooveshark application

Hot on the heals of yesterday’s Boxee for iPad announcement comes another one from the Boxee team. This time it involves the Boxee Box and streaming music. More specifically, Boxee has announced they now have a Grooveshark application that will allow you to stream all of your favorite music just as you can anything else through Boxee.

Boxee releases iPad app, other goodies

If you were worried the folks over at Boxee were sleeping, worry no more. They’ve announced a slew of interesting updates/products this week, including an iPad app. Now, not only can you stream content from your PC to your Boxee iPad app, you can watch your iPad app content on your Boxee Box. Yes, it does sound a lot like what the Apple TV and Airplay allow you to do, and that’s great!

Boxee UK announcements

Ever since I reviewed the Boxee Box, I’ve fallen in love with it. And the company keeps getting better and better all around the world. This week, for instance, Boxee has announced some pretty cool updates for our friends across the pond in the UK. For one, the BBC iPlayer has been revamped with a new look and gives access to BBC programs for the past seven days. Furthermore, BlinkBox—one of UK’s largest online movies and TV website—has partnered with Boxee to offer their content on the Boxee Box.

Boxee firmware update to bring some nice fixes and features

As Boxee describes on their blog, they’ve made it their goal to release a firmware update at least every three months or so in order to make sure their customers are getting the latest and greatest they have to offer. The next update is set to come out around May and is bringing some nice additions. For instance, they’re making some improvements to the loading and scrolling of their built in browser.

Boxee Box review

Boxee has made quite a name for itself in the set top box and streaming content market. After starting out on jailbroken Apple TVs, Boxee has grown to the point that it could land some great deals with content partners. For instance, recent support for Netflix streaming, Vudu purchases, and more has been quite awesome to see. And now, we’ve had the chance to try out the Boxee Box itself.

Netflix streaming now available on Boxee Box

Do you live in the United States or Canada? Are you single? Well, your this Valentine’s day might’ve just become a bit better. Boxee has announced that their flagship product, the Boxee Box, can now instantly stream both TV shows and movies straight to your TV. Despite it being a “bummer that [they] could not make it happen earlier,” they are obviously pretty excited about it now.

Boxee firmware update adds Vudu support

If there was ever a reason to update your Boxee box, today’s news would be it. According to the Boxee blog, the latest firmware update for their product will bring support for Vudu, a high definition, on demand movie service (which is unfortunately only available in the United States). In addition, this firmware update brings the usual enhancements and bug fixes you’d expect from an update. In fact, the list over at Boxee’s blog is actually quite long, so check it out if there’s been a bug you’ve been waiting to fixed.

It’s here: the Boxee Box lands November 10

By the looks of things, this could turn into the year of the Internet TV. We’ve seen the latest offerings from Apple with the re-designed Apple TV, and Google has made its entrance with its conveniently named Google TV. Now, not a minute too soon, the Boxee Box is about to ship. Each competitive device has its own merits, with the Boxee Box claiming to bring “all your favorite TV shows and movies from the Internet or your hard drive onto your TV.” It’s a simple enough idea, and the hardware, built in partnership with D-Link, is sure to look great on display.

Pre-order your Boxee Box now!

Do you have $199.99? Do you want a Boxee Box? Then head on over to Amazon right now and pre-order one. Boxee and D-Link are now taking pre-orders for the Boxee Box that received a lot of press as CES.
