You can read about it here but I just wanted to throw out madd props to the Boxee Dev team for all their hard work on their latest release that coincided with a meetup in San Francisco. This latest version includes many enhancements, bug fixes, and just all around good stuff that lets us know that the development of this (currently) free piece of awesome software is very much alive in development.
Back a few months ago when I bought an Apple TV to be able to play with this little app that needed to be hacked onto the Apple TV, I didn’t even know that I would enjoy it so much. Since then, its cut my TV watching in half, and well, we don’t even subscribe to Cable services anymore. If this is a glimpse at what is coming in the future for the television industry, I like it.
If I were to give any advice to the big TV networks – i’d say that they should jump on the bandwagon and find a way to work with these people, because THIS is where television is going. I’d hate to make this parallel, but I’ve got a feeling that this whole TV On demand thing could potentially be the next Napster/Mp3 revolution. Lets learn from past mistakes, and take the right steps.
Thanks again to the Boxee team!!
