#BOXEE STORAGE TV#
The box utilizes Boxee’s fantastic user interface for the live TV programming guide and also includes a host of apps.īoxee TV is not a Boxee Box replacement. However, the cloud DVR is just part of the magic of the Boxee TV. Boxee’s Avner Ronen tells me this accounts for 30% of the consumers in the US and that the company will open access to additional markets based on demand starting in 2013. The cloud DVR will only be available in the following markets at launch: NYC, LA, Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, Washington DC and Philadelphia. The Boxee TV hits a major retailer in November, but the company is systematically rolling out access to the No Limits DVR to better manage scaling and customer support. This is a stark departure from the traditional DVR that utilizes local storage to hold recordings. With the Boxee TV, owners can watch anything stored on their DVR from a mobile or desktop device.
Referred to by Boxee as the No Limits DVR, the Boxee TV is the first DVR that offers truly unlimited storage that also allows for remote viewing - for $15 a month. The Boxee TV offers a novel approach to the DVR. But, also like TiVo, there is a monthly charge to use the cloud DVR of $14.99 a month. Best of all, like TiVo, it’s not tied to the cable provider and even works with over-the-air signals. Built off the lessons learned with the Boxee Box’s Live TV dongle, the Boxee TV includes every feature found in a traditional DVR. The dual tuner setup also allows it to record two channels at once. The D-Link-made set-top box can pull in over-the-air HDTV signals and unencrypted cable signals. The Boxee TV attempts to address a large void in the TV segment: DVRs for cord cutters and casual cable subscribers. It’s all about the Boxee TV now, although the company doesn’t see the Boxee TV as a replacement for the two year old Boxee Box. Boxee has since moved on from both products, putting development on both in a sort of holding pattern where the company will address issues but will no longer provide product updates.
#BOXEE STORAGE SOFTWARE#
The Boxee HTPC software hit 2008, which was followed by the Boxee Box made in partnership with D-Link in 2010. The Boxee TV is the company’s third major product release. But most important, it’s built with Boxee’s DNA, which guarantees a class-leading user experience. It packs a DVR with unlimited storage, dual ATSC/QAM tuners, and several key apps including Netflix, Vudu, Pandora and YouTube. Meet the Boxee TV: A $99 TV tuner/DVR aimed squarely at cord cutters and casual cable TV subscribers.
