Who out there is sick of satellite, what with the ever-changing prices, dropping channels basic cable has and those god-awful commercials? One may consider first checking Boxee TV, a web-based television platform that can save cash and get a lot of the same programming.
Streaming with Boxee TV
There are many boxes available to hook up to your Television. Then, it will record shows if you want it to with a DVR function, and it can access Netflix, Hulu and more through the internet.
There's a brand new one coming out called Boxee TV, according to Time magazine, which takes a slightly different approach. Boxee Television has been around before. The company launched a streaming Television box a couple years back that failed miserably. However, the new one works a bit different, in that it utilizes cloud storage for DVR recordings.
DVR services can be added to your Boxee for only $14.99 a month, which is more costly than some businesses but not that bad. On top of that, the Boxee Television only starts at $99 for the box.
Currently getting an antenna
The Boxee TV comes with apps on it for VUDU, YouTube, Pandora, Vimeo and Netflix, making it really simple on customers. It also can plug in to the cable port to be used as a DVR box. The other nice thing about this is that it has an antenna, meaning you can pick up ABC, CBS, NBC and other public broadcast stations through it.
According to CNET, Boxee TV is great because it does not have an on-board memory and does not require 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 TV, but it does have a dual-code DVR recorder and can record two things at once.
The box is nice because you have unlimited space for DVR recording. You will not need short term loans to pay the $14.99 fee for it more than likely.
Not everybody has access
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 plans 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 LA 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.
