There are numerous people who have had it with cable and satellite. For those sorts of people, there's a brand new product, called Boxee TV that might be worth checking out.
Boxee Television makes it hard on cable and simple on consumers
A number of businesses make and sell web-based television boxes that offer a severe challenge to cable and satellite companies. The idea is fairly simple; the box connects to Wi-Fi and streams Netflix, Hulu and so forth, and also usually has a DVR function where they can record it.
Boxee TV is a new one coming out, but it is a bit different from the rest, according to Time Magazine. The new Boxee Television utilizes cloud storage for DVR recordings, which makes it very different from the Television box it released and failed with a couple of years back.
You can pay $99 for the Boxee TV, making it pretty affordable, and also you only have to pay $14.99 a month if you want DVR services. That is fairly good.
Use it with simple cable
The Boxee Television receiver has a cable port, so consumers can use it as a DVR box and thus an accessory. It also has its own antenna, so publicly broadcast stations like NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox and PBS could be picked up. It also comes with native apps for Netflix, Vimeo, VUDU, YouTube and Pandora.
According to CNET, Boxee Television is good because it does not have an on-board memory and does not call for 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.
You do have to pay the $14.99 monthly charge, which probably will not cost you short term loans, if you would like to get the DCR service, though it is nice because there are no memory needs.
Only some towns at first
The DVR services on the Boxee TV are pretty exciting, but only some cities have access to it at the moment, though the company does have promises to expand that in the next year, according to TG Daily. The service is offered in Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Chicago, New York and LA at the moment.
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.
