Boxee: All you need to know

I'm a big fan of Boxee as a media streaming device. There are cheaper devices (roku, appletv) but I've continued to gravitate back to Boxee each time. Here's the 4 reasons why

1. RF remote
RF remote is great because you an hide boxee if you don't want to display it.

2. Local Media Organization
I have a bunch of local media, boxee organizes it, scraps for show information, and presents it cleanly

3. Plays ISO
I keep alot of content in ISO format. I just can't find a compression i'm happy with so i keep the movie in its original format. I do strip away all the menu's, trailers, etc so the movie just plays. I don't want to convert my library so this limits the streamers I can use. Boxee is one of them

4. Apps
Spotify, Netflix, MLB, NHL, Pandora, VUDU . . . . all great apps and the library is growing. Netflix has really become a staple in our house, Boxee's got it.

This is just one piece of the media puzzle, but the most important. These are the devices you and the family will interact with. It needs to be simple, clean, and just work. Boxee does that.
