Oh, that Boxee lot is a crafty bunch. The open-source media center today added Netflix capabilities, allowing you to browse the titles available for streaming, manage your Watch Instantly queue and stream movies directly to your TV.

The new functionality was built using the Netflix APIs and is part of a new alpha version of Boxee. One nice bonus is that unlike other Netflix services such as the Roku and Xbox, Boxee lets you browse and add streaming titles directly from the TV. There’s no need to separately fill your queue on a computer.

However, the Netflix feature only lets you browse and manage streaming titles, not the regular DVD-by-mail ones. And in Boxee’s ongoing it-works-now-it-doesn’t-now-it’s-back tug-of-war with Apple, the Netflix function does not currently run on the Apple TV hardware. A spokesperson for the company says getting Netflix up and running on the Apple TV this is their top priority.

In addition to Netflix, this Boxee update also includes access to new content from TheWB.com and new interfaces for CNN, Hulu and YouTube content. Additionally, the service now links music videos from MTVMusic.com to match artists and songs in your audio library.

Adding Netflix should provide a nice new incentive for people to try out the service, but it’s still too technical for mainstream adoption. Granted, it’s still only in alpha, so that can be forgiven. The company just raised $4 million, now it needs to get built into some consumer hardware to see if it can take off.

Well I've been thinking of upgrading from my audigy 2zs to an x-fi and I also have a cable box i use to watch tv that has digital output that I'd like to take advantage of. However as far as I'm aware not all of the x-fi's support digital input, and since I'm limited to pci right now (my last 1x pcie slot is snugged right next to my video card, even though my video card is a single-slot it's too close for comfort)

So from my understanding I would need to go to the X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty to get the proper input (even though I'd rather not pay for something with that jock-wannabee's name on it) or is there any other option?
Would I need to buy that $15 I/o module to get the input that I need or is there some other option?

And i guess lastly, does vista media center even support doing such a thing(taking audio from digital input for tv)? :)

thanks!

Hi all,

For my home network I have an airport express. This works great for our needs, except for one.

I use EyeTV/elgato tuner/powerbook as my DVR/home media center. I recently set up a second "hub" using a Powermac in another room. With EyeTV there is the option to share your video library with other computers on the network. However, the video files are just too large to stream over the wireless network in real time, and the movies are horribly jumpy. In addition, my powermac's airport card died so I no longer have the option of using wireless for it.

I want to keep the wireless network as it is, but hardwire the MacPro to the Powerbook (with I assume an ethernet cable). Also, it seems to me that both machines need to join the current (wireless) network such that I am able to share between them on EyeTV.

[u]So my questions are:[u]First, is it possible to just run an ethernet cable between the two machines to share data without any further setup? Second, if that is possible, will the powermac then be able to join the home 'wireless' network? If not, can the powerbook simultaneously be on the wireless network and on a ethernet network with the powermac?

Thanks so much for helping a noob,

Cameron

Hello All, so I gave my father my old g4 (ahh classic) and now he's hooked on mac..Especially with his itunes and his new ipod...now Id like to get him a media extender to hook up to his living room receiver. Does anyone have any media center extender suggestions aside from the appleTV that work with the mac? I know D-Link and Linkysys have media center extenders but they are only compatible with PC/vista's media center. Thanks in advance everyone. Happy Holidays.
