There are a number of people who have had it with cable and satellite. For those types of people, there's a new product, called Boxee TV that might be worth looking at.
Boxee TV makes it hard on cable and easy on consumers
There are a ton of boxes you can choose from that connect to Netflix, Hulu and more and have some kind of DVR function for recording. You just have to hook the box up to Wi-Fi, and you start challenging cable and satellite corporations.
A couple of years back, the Boxee Television got released. It failed miserably. According to Time magazine, the business is trying it again with a brand new twist. All DVR recordings will be held in the cloud.
You can pay $99 for the Boxee TV, making it pretty inexpensive, and you only have to pay $14.99 a month if you would like DVR services. That is fairly good.
Has antenna
Consumers can use the Boxee Television as a DVR box since it has a cable port. It may also be used to get NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, CBS and other publicly broadcast stations because it has an antenna. It has applications on it for YouTube, Pandora, VUDU, Netflix, Vimeo and more.
According to CNET, Boxee Television is good because it does not have an on-board memory and does not require an external hard drive like other boxes require, such as the newly released Simple.TV. The system does not allow for pausing programs while watching them live on Television, but it does have a dual-code DVR recorder and can record two things at once.
That said, unlike DVR systems that are affected by the memory, cloud storage is unlimited. However, getting the DVR service does cost the $14.99 monthly charge, though that's hardly enough to send an individual out for short term loans to cover.
Not every person has access
Unfortunately, the hitch is that the DVR services for the Boxee TV, according to TG Daily, are limited to just a couple towns to begin with. Only residents of New York, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., will be able to get the DVR services. The business plans on expanding the network over the next year, though.
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.
