boxee
We've been following Boxee (not Boxxy) since its public alpha debut last
Summer. We were captivated by it. Who expected a project built off of
code originally intended for hacked Xboxes would be shown on NBC's Today
Show? We've been promised internet connected set top boxes for years,
but it seems like Boxee is here to stay for two solid reasons: 1. It's
free. 2. Major content providers have finally figured out how to publish
online and Boxee supports them. You can replace your network television
with on demand content from Hulu, ABC, and the like.
One of the most affordable platforms currently supported by Boxee is the
Apple TV. Lifehacker has a guide for installing Boxee on an Apple TV.
You prepare a USB flash drive that is then used to patch the stock
firmware. Once installed you can take advantage fun features like
downloading torrents directly to the box.
Go there...
