There are numerous those who have had it with satellite and cable. For those kinds of folks, there's a new product, called Boxee Television that may be worth checking out.
Boxee Television follows format of Roku, SimpleTV
There are many boxes available to hook up to your TV. Then, it will record shows if you would like it to with a DVR function, and it can access Netflix, Hulu and more through the internet.
Boxee TV is a new one coming out, but it is a bit different from the rest, according to Time Magazine. The new Boxee TV 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 TV, making it pretty inexpensive, and you only have to pay $14.99 a month if you need DVR services. That is fairly great.
An antenna on it already
The Boxee TV comes with applications on it for VUDU, YouTube, Pandora, Vimeo and Netflix, making it really easy on customers. 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.
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 Television, but it does have a dual-code DVR recorder and can record two things at once.
That said, unlike DVR systems that are hampered by the memory, cloud storage is unlimited. However, getting the DVR service does cost the $14.99 monthly charge, though that's hardly enough to send a person out for short term loans to cover.
Only some towns at first
The DVR services on the Boxee TV are pretty exciting, but only some towns have access to it at the moment, though the company 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.
