Boxee is pretty cool. Installed it on an AppleTV, though the interface is a little slow and Hulu is rather choppy. Hopefully they’ll put some effort into optimizing it for slower devices like AppleTV.

Though I wonder what the business model is.

I’m a big fan of Boxee, and have it running off an old Macbook Pro and a new HD LCD TV.

I’m thrilled to see startups providing such improvements over the ubiquitous Comcastesque DVRs that are in everyone’s living rooms now.

I am finding it hard to justify spending in excess of $100 per month (which I am currently doing) for the privilege of turning on the TV and being greeted with 5 minutes of constant irrelevant ads with boosted volume levels. Flip the channel – you’re midway through another 5 minute adbreak on another channel. Attempt to use the DVR features of the Comcast box and you must suffer through a horrible interface, and repeatedly reach for the remote to uber-fast-forward through ads (then back up because you overshot).

When I get home from work I reach for the Apple remote now and fire up Boxee. Catch up on the news from CNN and watch the segments I’m interested in. If it wasn’t for Entourage I probably wouldn’t even need the Comcast service.

I’m thrilled we’re getting closer to the stage where a single cat-5 cable delivers all your entertainment needs and your time isn’t hijacked by the old-school TV format.

I talked about Boxee in my podcast (Moxie Mo Show) and Geekbrief did a great job installing it and showing us how as well – FINALLY got my Boxee invite today so I will be installing it tonight!

Great Israeli startup and very justified investment. Congrats to Boxee and Avner for making this happen in the worse climate – I hope it didn’t impact the valuation. See VC Cafe’s previous coverage on Boxee here: http://www.vcca...-compatibility/

Congratulations, Boxee. I’ve been alpha testing it on AppleTV, and it’s a great piece of software. Here’s hoping Apple see what a great product it is, and include it with AppleTV as standard rather than having to hack it in. Pipe dream, I know…
