Boxee usb drive software#
On the software front, Boxxee’s highly praised UI neatly organizes media from a variety of sources including Netflix, Hulu Plus, Vudu, and just about any other form of audio or video you have stored locally on a hard drive, SD card, or other networked computer. Its strange exterior isn’t the most home theater friendly design we’ve seen, but aesthetics aside, it still packs everything you’ll need to connect including an HDMI out port, wireless n networking, two USB ports, and an SD card reader. I know that I have a lot more to explore with Boxee, but so far I’m impressed.Tired of shelling out cash every month to your local cable provider for channels you never watch? Well the Boxee Box is the best solution currently on the market for letting you access all of the digital content you love sans a monthly subscription. I did want to mention that installing Boxee does not remove the original functionality of the AppleTV. Installing Boxee on my AppleTV was a good move and I’m glad I did it. I ended up watching the first episode of the Dresden Files and the first episode of The Dick Van Dyke show 🙂 Fun stuff. But, for a free service, we can’t really complain that much can we? And then not all episodes in a season are available either. It might have season one and four and skip the others. That’s the thing with Hulu, you can’t really count on it to have entire seasons of your fave shows. It kind of sucks that they show an episode as available, only to then be not be. I was immediately disappointed to see the screen shown above. So I selected it and waited for it to queue up… Can you believe that I’ve never watched even one episode of this really popular show? Sad but true! So I thought it would be really cool to watch the first episode and was very happy to see season one listed along with episode one.

In the example above, I’m scrolling through a list of available TV shows.
In case you’ve not heard of Hulu before, it streams old and current TV shows and Movies. I love that I might be able to find some new shows to watch that I’ve never heard of, or just never tried before.īoxee has a whole lot of features, but keep in mind that for this article, I have been focusing only on Hulu. I’m now going to play around with the app and report back later with a thumbs up or thumbs down for Hulu access.Ĩ:30pm I’ve been playing around with Boxee and Hulu off and on for a couple hours now and I have to say that it’s pretty cool.
It would probably be a lot faster had I not being snapping pix and writing commentary. Looks like I need to do some configuring as the text is cut off at the top and sides (which explains why I didn’t see the message about removing the USB stick and rebooting after the initial install). After adding your Boxee user id and password, you are shown this menu. More waiting…Ħ:03pm We now have Boxee running on the AppleTV. I’m downloading the app right now through the AppleTV.

That menu gives you some download choices for the Boxee application and launcher.

You have to do this through the AppleTV Boxee Update menu. Yay Google! You’re still my friend 🙂 Rebooting now.ĥ:53pm We have a Boxee pick on the AppleTV main menu now!ĥ:55pm Oops, I didn’t need to download that original Boxee software on my Mac.

Hope the install hasn’t crashed – that would really put a crimp in this article 😉ĥ:41pm The screen on the TV went Black, but the AppleTV power light is still blinking Yellow.ĥ:47pm Doh! My bad… I wasn’t able to see the last line of text on the screen which told me to remove the USB stick from the AppleTV and reboot. If you’ve ever seen a unix box boot up, it looks similar.ĥ:37pm Hmmmm, the scrolling stopped about 5 minutes ago and the light on the front of the AppleTV is blinking Yellow. After a few seconds, a splash screen with Tux (the Linux penguin) sitting on an AppleTV appears and then a bunch of info starts scrolling down the screen. 5:13pm Now playing Christmas songs on my ukulele to kill time.ĥ:16pm Download is finished! It’s now reformatting the USB stick and installing the image.ĥ:18pm The stick is ready, heading for the living room.ĥ:32pm After unplugging the AppleTV, I inserted the USB stick in the USB port on the back of the AppleTV and then plugged it back into power.
