    Hello,

    I help produce a tech news insert, “Tech Bytes”, that is distributed nationally to all ABC affiliates. We’re interested in featuring a demo of Boxee. Can someone please get back to me?

    Thanks!
    Tina

    I’ve been playing around with Navi-X and quickly came to realize that there’s a major gap in a user getting to the content in which they’re interested, reliably. I’ve started documenting a “to do” list for improving Navi-X, or creating a plug-in to provide a similar capability, but am now really curious as to whether you guys haven’t already built the better mousetrap.

    Pleasepleaseplease include me in your alpha! ;)

    Safe travels home.

    Eagerly awaiting….

  3. Saw the demo at the NY Tech Meetup. Would love to write up a piece about Boxee for the New York Observer newspaper. Could someone give me a call or email? 212-407-9336.

    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I saw the demo from DL.TV and I love it! I’m a swedish writer among other things writing a monthly two-page tech tips column for a (paper based) magazine. Would it be possible to get an invite before long so I can try it out for that column? Rgds, Patrik

    I’ve been looking for a media solution for the past year. I had almost given up after finding almost everything else on the market seriously lacking. That is until I discoverd Boxee. I am extremely impressed with Boxee so far and I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate your work. I’ve installed Boxee on my ATV and three other macs in my home which are all accessing a NAS amongst other sources – it works beautifully. I’ve only been using it for a few hours and most of this time was setup (I like process as much as product anyway!), but I will give some more critical feedback at a later date.
    Thanks again.

    I’d love to see a list of standard hardware this can run on (like Apple TV, etc.). Ideally you guys will partner with a hardware provider to create a dedicated box.

    Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

    We are opening a small luxury inn in a few months and the entire company is on Apple. We are interested in using a solution like this for the 9 luxury rooms, each with their own HDTV. Can someone contact us if they have used this for hospitality before or for multiple room use.

    Hi all,
    I would love to give a Boxee’s preview to our reader at http://www.appuntidigitali.it – Italian tech blog – can anyone get back to me?

    Thanks, and happy winter holidays! :)

  26. William Bazadier says:

    I absolutely love Boxee! This is such a great product, keep up the good work. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.

  27. NY-Siniq says:

    I am so flabberghasted about Boxee, I just want to shove one right up my arse. Could you lend me one?

  28. In less than an hour Boxee turned AppleTV – which was never worth the electricity to turn on – into a gateway to online video. Great product!

  29. Karen says:

    I just installed boxee, but I have no content to watch that’s currently on my hard drive. How do I find and download streaming content from online? This seems like a dumb question, but I can’t find the answer and the link to the Support page resulted in this error:

    help.boxee.tv uses an invalid security certificate.

    The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.

    (Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)
