with the latest release of boxee we’ve enhanced the experience, offering our alpha testers the ability to stream TV Shows, Movies and clips from sites like CBS, Comedy Central and Hulu. we think it is a big step towards making boxee a true alternative to expensive Cable/Sat subscriptions, as well as to those who revert to downloading pirated content. by making shows like CSI, Southpark or Heroes available for instant streaming, in good quality and with limited commercial interruptions we believe CBS and Hulu are helping make paying for Cable or pirating content both irrelevant.
while we don’t currently have a formal relationship with either content provider, we know that partnerships like these are what people want (x# of requests and counting). we hope to work closely with them in order to improve the experience and bring more content with even better quality to our users.
if you’re an alpha tester please tell us what other shows, services, content you’d like to see as part of boxee.
if you’re a content owner/aggregator and would like to have your content on boxee please contact us. boxee is an open-platform and we’ll work with you to bring your shows, movies, music, and business model to it.

First off, I love Boxee!
I'm building a MAME Cocktail cabinet and media jukebox and I'd love to use boxee as the front end. It would be nice to have a MAME or other game emulator launcher.
espn360.com !!!
Don't forget Aperture support if you are putting in iPhoto support. I was thinking about it and I think there is a way to cheat in Leopard. The finder allows access to the media in both types of libraries via the finder, so it stands to reason that either a simple symbolic linking would work, or a VFS gateway to them if not.
I highly throw my weight behind NetFlix!
I already have the AppleTV and really don't want to get yet another box for only a single provider!!!

Guys,
Netflix is going to use Silverlight for OS X. Can we get a silverlight plugin and then use netflix onto boxee?
@samir we'll do our best
I like your product, but I am pretty frustrated about the limitations for non-US viewers. I understand the Boxee position, but someone out there should understand that traditional practices around limiting broadcasting is so previous century. Why are these US networks not transforming into world-wide firms as in other businesses is already common practice e.g. airlines, banks Why would they want to sell programs to other foreign TV stations if they can make money themselves using modern technology….
Netflix instant integration would be awesome!
@bruijnesteijn i agree. i hope the TV networks will enable International viewers to stream from their sites. will be the best way for them to fight piracy. in the age of the Internets nobody wants to watch Lost 3 weeks after the episode was broadcast in the US.. people in the west-coast don't want to wait 3 hours…
i guess the issue is money. they sell rights to these shows for lots of $$, and don't have the ability to compensate for losing these revenues by selling ads on their own.
but they'll have to figure it out. otherwise users will just find other ways of getting to the content
The ability for Boxee to auto zoom or stretch content to fit the TV would be awesome so I don't have to keep resizing the video on my tv between watching shows and using the interface.
Never mind. It's already there.
retrovision.tv would be great and for the norwegians http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv
also some live streaming channels
http://www.france24.com/en/
aljazeera
bbcworld
and many more
Boxee is looking awesome! Thank you for your hard work.
I would really love to see Discovery and Pandora. Even if Pandora had some of those dumb ads embedded in it, it would be worth it.
Pandora, Please!
For boxee to mark what shows in the selection menu you have watched like itunes, with its little blue dots. And for it to remember where you left off, if you stop a video.
Having Netflix would be amazing. Also BBC would be great as well.
I've got to agree with some others, ABC please. Thanks for the fantastic program!
it seems we need to find an easy way to let people who can hack a few lines of code to write a boxee plug-in that will add support for a specific service.
no way we'll be able to chase down all these content sources on our own.
I think Netflix integration would be amazing.
Oh, SlingBox integration would also be incredible.
i will throw in yet another vote for Netflix. how can we help make this happen? letters, emails, phone calls, petitions to Netflix? seriously? sounds like the boxee fan wagon is filling up quick. how can we push our weight around?
@brad i am with you on this. we should put together a petition to Netflix. it's such a perfect fit to boxee. we need to get their attention
Worldwide radio stations… via API for radiotime.com… This would be fantastic!
My wife loves TLC and I cannot find a good source for her shows. Like John and Kate Plus 8. Thanks
I'd love to be able to change the name of my rss feeds…
Fabchannel.com would be awesome! Live concerts from Paradiso!
ABC, and Global TV
http://www.canada.com/globaltv/video/index.html
Awesome, THANKS!!!
Please add Fox News content and any form of live streaming!
Mtv music videos! http://www.mtv.com/music/video/
mtvmusic.com would be really nice!
Is netflix instant streaming possible???
@Kebin i agree re mtvmusic.com it's a really nice implementation.
Netflix will be more challenging.
but we'll try and get both to boxee
Current TV
SPORTS, SPORTS, SPORTS!!! ESPN 360 and ESPN U, I want to get rid of cable all year, not just the off season!
National Geographic, Discovery, and more educational channels.
TNT, TBS…
ABC shows and Joost! Keep up the great work guys!
There's too much focus on geolocated shows. It really blows having to go through proxies. Can we get some more focus on international shows? Not everyone here is an American.
@Erik we're going to try and bring more International content in, as well as make it easier for developers to make their content available on boxee
I just started the netflix instant watch beta using the silverlight plugin on my laptop. I'd love to be able to use it on boxee too.
So one thing that is a quick win, functionality wise on the internet video section is geo targeting.
Allow 3rd party content providers (aka me) place specific video feeds in Boxee internet section based on their IP location.
I work a for a content provider who has many free Media RSS feeds that could be slot in for the continent of africa. ( however this is not your big hitter on target markets)
So being outside of the continent of USA I cannot view HULU without a US IP (should be configurable with a proxy)
I want to plug feeds into that video window now.
oh ..what are your skinning rules/prefernces?
It would great to see the new Netflix instant watch using Silverlight 2.0 supported.
How about a live streaming news station? (msnbc, cnn, etc) would really make all tv obsolete.
How about, for us Australians, ABC iview?
@Noah we need to find a way to enable users to add content from all over the world. no way we could cover it all.
How about adding support for CrunchyRoll.com?
ABC shows would be great. Lost on Boxee would be awesome. Also, a web browser would be great too!
VPN, so those outside the US can get Hulu, etc!
Netflix watch instantly/Silverlight would be fantastic!
YES! Hulu and Boxee are great! What its missing is a way to log into my hulu account. Without that I can't see content for viewers 17 and over….
It's always sunny in Philadelphia is one such show, not porn silly people!
I would like to see the live games streamed on NFL.com show up in Boxee.
