Boxee Live TV Tuner

Have you thought of cutting the cord and saying goodbye to your cable TV subscription? You're not alone. And with Boxee's new Live TV stick; you just might get rid of that cable bill for good.

So, what does this little $49 stick do? The Live TV Tuner allows Boxee Box owners to watch live sports, local news, special events, and shows from local broadcast stations (like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC) via an HD antenna. And the best part? There are no monthly fees!

The Boxee Live TV Tuner will also add a full program guide for users, but unfortunately DVR recording isn't available at this time. Hopefully this feature will be available in the near future.

Customers that have already pre-ordered the device, you'll be happy to know that Boxee began shipping units out today (January 23). Read more

The bad thing about events in Northern California is that there are always a number of them going on in the tech industry and usually they have a knack to overlap.

Take today.

Yes GDC is still on but then down in San Jose is a two-day OTTCon (over the top conference) taking place. No biggie you say but these are the guys/gals who are going give us a hint on what we'll be watching, where we'll be watching it, how we'll be watching it.

Affects the way you work with games too!

OTTCon Snapshot

These folks have a huge challenge ahead of them. They're busting each other's chops trying to figure out exactly what tomorrow's TV entertainment is going to be like especially since people seem to want to push it to every screen you have (and even will be thinking about).

That's not so bad but they're really trying to figure out how they're going to get their money out of it! And how does it fit into/compete in the YouTube online spectrum? It does!

They were an energetic crowd but the first thing you realize is that they don't have any better idea where TV is going than you do…but they say it with confidence/conviction so it "feels" so!Read more
