There are numerous people who have had it with cable and satellite. For those sorts of people, there's a new product, called Boxee Television that could be worth checking out.
Boxee Television makes it hard on cable and simple on customers
A number of businesses make and sell web-based television boxes that offer a significant challenge to cable and satellite corporations. The idea is fairly simple; the box links to Wi-Fi and streams Netflix, Hulu and so forth, and also typically has a DVR function where they can record it.
There's a new one coming out called Boxee TV, according to Time magazine, which takes a slightly different approach. Boxee Television has existed before. The company launched a streaming Television box a couple years ago that failed miserably. However, the new one works a bit different, in that it uses cloud storage for DVR recordings.
You can pay $99 for the Boxee TV, making it pretty inexpensive, and also you only have to pay $14.99 a month if you would like DVR services. That is pretty good.
Has antenna
Consumers can use the Boxee Television as a DVR box since it has a cable port. It can 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.
The way it differs from comparable boxes such as Roku or Netgear, which are less expensive by half, is that Boxee Television doesn't have any on-board memory, nor does it require an external hard drive for storage, such as the recently-released Simple.TV, according to CNET. Storage is done via uploading content to a cloud "locker," which users can access at any time. It is a dual-code DVR recorder and can record two programs simultaneously. Consumers cannot stop live programs, like on TiVo, however.
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 everyone has access
The Boxee Television comes with DVR, but that is only available in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., New York, Los Angles, Chicago, Dallas and Houston right now. The business plans 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.
