Boxee has announced the latest release of their HTPC software and it’s packed with several new features, including Netflix Watch Now! This version is for the Mac and Linux public beta versions of Boxee. (The Windows edition of Boxee has begun early alpha testing and will soon open up to more participants.) Some of the notable inclusions in this update are:
At the title states, the Blockbuster OnDemand MediaPoint 2Wire box just isn’t ready for prime time. While the pricing is extremely reasonable ($99 for the hardware, including 25 movie rentals), the interface looks pleasant, and the content selection is solid… the device is in need of a software update before I can recommend it.
A loaner Neuros LINK ($300) arrived earlier today, and for once I forgive the UPS guy for not hiking up four flights of stairs to make a delivery… The unit is essentially a full-on computer, with the total kit weighing in at about 15lbs.
