Media hub with integration to local and streamed sources.
On a laptop or connected to an HDTV, boxee gives you a true entertainment experience to enjoy your movies, TV shows, music and photos, as well as streaming content from services like Netflix, MTV, Pandora and flickr.
Endlessly available entertainment. Well directed, organized, easy to find what you want.
Cons
Capitalist greed destroys everything good eventually.
Summary
I have loved it from the beginning but now that they have dumped it something better will come along. Until then I'm sticking with BOXEE on my Mac & PC.
v1.5.0.23267 = BOMB!
zunipus
Pros
There are no pros when an application is impossible to run. Skip this version.
Cons
This version always bombs.
Summary
Skip this version entirely. Use version 0.9.23.15885 until a working update is available. It still works.
If you insist upon trying v1.5.0.blahblahblah, it is critical to read the latest information at the Boxee Mac forum.
I personally tried an entirely clean install of this version many times with consistent failure stopping it bombing.
Good everything, except limited content.

Lack of popular content.
Summary
Good everything, except limited content. Might be awesome one day.
The best all-in-one Internet media center software
cbs.aaron
Pros
Pulls in content from nearly all online sources including YouTub and Netflix, as well as media stored on your local network.
Cons
No Amazon or (legal) Hulu.
Summary
It's free, so you might as well give it a shot.
Can finally plug into TV and get the full experience.

Pros
They keep updating fixing glitches - you don't need force quit to log out anymore.
Using the iPhone as a remote is fun.
Cons
Scrolling still a little awkward.
Summary
The best way to aggregate online and onboard media.

Pros
Boxee is a great way to enjoy your favorite online shows, videos, and music sources, and includes a nice media player for your onboard media as well. It includes a robust set of codecs for opening media that may otherwise be difficult...
Cons
While Boxee is the best of what's around, the user interface could use some sprucing up. Perhaps add some options that allow for different themes to be installed?
Summary
If you're looking to consolidate your online content with your onboard content into one application, Boxee delivers a very solid experience. I've been using it for quite a while now, and highly recommend it.
works great for me

The best media center app across all platforms.
jvan8
Pros
Compiles my online life into one app. The new interface is easy to navigate and there is a ton of content available.

Since Hulu left it is not as complete as it could be.
Summary
Nice app. Like the interface.
