Boxee: Multi-platform Media Center

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I have been on the lookout recently for a linux or mac based media center to use for the TV in the living room.  After installing a whole bunch of distributions, including MythTV, Entertainer and a few others, I stumbled upon Boxee (http://www.boxee.tv/).  It's available on all platforms (Mac, Linux, and Windows) and has a very clean and sleek looking interface.  One of the great features is the way it can bring internet content directly to your TV.  Although Hulu is currently "blocking" content to Boxee, there are work arounds(http://lmgtfy.com/q=boxee+hulu+hack).  As soon as I installed Ubuntu on an old 2 GHz machine I had laying around, Boxee was a breeze to install and configure.  Within minutes, my music and movies were loading up and now all my content is in one place, controllable via my iPhone.  No more lugging the laptop or desktop down to the TV, connecting it, then lugging it back up stairs.
