There are numerous people who have had it with satellite and cable. For those sorts of folks, there's a new product, called Boxee Television that can be worth checking out.
Box connects to Wi-Fi for streaming
There are a lot of boxes you can choose from that connect with Netflix, Hulu and more and have some sort of DVR function for recording. You just have to hook the box up to Wi-Fi, and you also start challenging satellite and cable corporations.
There's a 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 ago 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 companies but not that bad. On top of that, the Boxee TV only starts at $99 for the box.
Already getting an antenna
The Boxee TV receiver has a cable port, so consumers can use it as a DVR box and thus an accessory. It also has its own antenna, so publicly broadcast stations like NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox and PBS could be picked up. It also comes with native apps for Netflix, Vimeo, VUDU, YouTube and Pandora.
The best part of the Boxee TV is that you do not need any external hard drive for storage since all storage is done by uploading content onto the cloud that can be accessed at any time. It can record two programs at once as a dual-code DVR recorder, though live programs cannot be paused while you are watching them. It is more costly than the Roku or Netgear boxes that are similar, but having the infinite amount of storage is very tempting, according to CNET.
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 available to everyone
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 intends 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 Los Angeles 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.
