BOXEE - free cable TV? maybe...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

1) go to http://www.boxee.tv
2) download the app and install it on your PC.
3) Watch cable channels and movies on your PC or connect your PC to your TV and watch from there.
4) Watch any episode of almost any TV series from Bewitched to House or Big Bang. The episode starts when you press play so you don't have to wait until it's showing; watch your favorite show when YOU have time.
5) Watch news, sports or choose from a ton of channels
6) it's FREE
7) you can be ultra cool and use your iPhone or iTouch to control Boxee on your laptop or PC via wifi.

but here's the catch...
Boxee is only available to US residents so you will have to use a proxy or VPN to change your IP address so that you will appear as though you are in the US.
You can try Hot Spot Shield http://hotspotshield.com/.
Once hotspot shield is running and connected you will be able to use boxee and other cool sites such as http://www.hulu.com

I know there was a thread about boxee not working in T&T before, but apparently it got pruned. Hotspot Shield works best with Boxee on a high speed connection of 10Mb/sec or more.

Currently using Hot Spot Shield with hulu, only a matter of time before they 'patch' this flaw. Will check out this boxee.tv

On another note, lookout for Google TV:



yes very soon, we'll also be driving google cars, just kidding, but you never know

^ i use hulu too
Boxee collaborates all the content on crackle, hulu, apple, fox, cbs etc etc etc in one place AND lets you add in your own downloaded file in one easy place

the iPhone remote for boxee is the real icing on the cake

nothing is being stolen, the service is free, they just don't offer streaming outside of the US.

^ the iPhone remote is teh win

[nareshseep]

I use hulu for one day it worked after that was not getting through, after I looked at hotspot shield but same thing, and I have a 5Mb with flow. So Duane are you saying that hulu presently works for you?

Currently I use miro, it works great once you have rss feeds you can add it to miro, Miro pulls down the file to your pc. All my top gear, tekzilla, hd nation (high def) I get through this. It automatically deletes files after a few day. A good site for rss feeds (not sure if up to date) http://ezrss.it/

im een boxee...

[M_2NR]

Guys, on your boxee, does all the episodes of Family Guy show up? I only seeing some of season 8 and 4.

Hulu works great though. Only gripe is that i can't stretch the Family Guy shows to 16:9 so they are 4:3

^ i deleted that hotspot shield 5 mins after i installed it. I cant take all dem ads

[legoRB]

I disable it (whole thing) wen I am not using the Boxee...that stops the ads.
I have to digg up some more to see if i can disable the ads alone instead of the whole thing.

[playerskrew]

it wokin....nice 2 bad...

[christopherwilliams2]

i got 512 internet.

why dat soundin like greendot??

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

the idea is to run hot spot shield ONLY when using boxee or hulu etc.
You should not surf the net with hot spot shield because you get a ton of ads.

[jusme]

it wokin....nice 2 bad...
