HDTV and Home Theater Podcast - Podcast #553: New Boxee, Cloud DVR and Superhero Movies

[arad]

Cord cutters rejoice, the new $99 Boxee will delight and amaze you - and it's a much more normal size and shape. One unique feature of the new Boxee is cloud storage for all your saved DVR content; we aren't convinced this is as good as it sounds on paper. And if Sci-fi movies aren't your thing, we close out today with a discussion on Superhero movies.

I've followed Boxee from their beginning and hope they will succeed. Ignoring the rarely satisfactory possibility of third party hacks and the problems associated with insufficiently buffered streaming, their cloud only storage approach is a dead end street for anyone who wants control over their own content and could will end up killing the company.
