Unveiling the Boxee Beta in NYC on Dec 7th

NYC-BETA-Unveiling-09

The date is set for the release of the Boxee Beta. On December 7th at 7pm we are going to have an unveiling event at the Music Hall of Williamsburg.

At the event we will demo the new Beta, launch new applications from partners and start a 4-weeks early-access for users to test the Beta before we release it to the public at CES on Jan 7th.

The Boxee Beta will look, feel and behave differently from the Alpha. It takes into account many of the requests and feedback we received from users in the past year.

The Beta will feature:

  • new user interface
  • improved navigation
  • search TV Shows and Movies
  • a user controlled Queue
  • shortcuts
  • more…

We’ve have been heads down working on it for the past few months, and we’re really anxious to get it into your hands.

    Will platforms other than linux get to benefit from video card acceleration? Already drooling for the beta… TT

    Will Boxee be better than Voddler (which I am using currently)? Will there be any content available outside the US?

    I’m so looking forward to this release. I hope to see the following:
    1.- A much less obstructive interface
    2.- less clicking around with the remote to get things done when controlling playback
    3.- some way to do efficient fast forward and rewind a la frontroad
