Interesting walla a while back they offered the Boxee app for Mac so you could do the same I guess. But it was probably limited.

I’ve been XBMC on my JailBroken Apple TV for ages! works like a charm! free Movie/TVshows streaming all I want plus I can view any media files across my network!

@sabah – Your right it does work both ways, and the streaming content is fantastic, but I don’t mention it much since I didn’t go too deeply into them!

Have one myself and it is pretty awesome. You explained it perfectly.

Some of the apps are good and certain repositories have tonnes of archived content (movies, cartoons, etc.) that can be watched via streaming. My WDTV Live in another room also detects it as a media player and can stream content off of it as well. I think that would work both ways.

@Dave – True but I haven’t seen a CRT Tv in a LONG time since LCD TVs have gotten so cheap these days!

Sounds and looks cool, but only thing is I believe it only has hdmi output, which hinders some people who still use crt tv’s..

@Buzfairy – Keep in mind the Boxee doesn’t store anything! You just point it where your stuff is stored, and it will download the images and backgrounds for it so it will show like a menu a few hours later. It is pretty simple really, but not like iTunes, you don’t buy things from it and it doesn’t move any files, it just sees where you want it to see, so you point it to your tv or movie folder!

I read about it over at Mark a while back, but didn’t think it was that simple to operate.

Let’s just assume we’ve got a few shows via torrents, would they get transferred to boxee, just like when u buy stuff off iTunes?
