Boxee is an open-source media center which plays media from your computer and other devices in your home network, as well as connects you to various Internet sources that allow you to stream or download movies, TV shows, music and photos.
In short, Boxee is a home theater social media center. But, for many people, that doesn't say much. Boxee is a software program that you install on your computer that allows users to watch internet movies and TV shows, listen to online radio and music, play your local digital music and movies, and much, much more. Boxee is diverse in its functionality, and continues to evolve as developers create new applications to explore the expanse of media on the world wide web.
What are some examples of the internet movies and music I can play?
With each passing week, the internet content Boxee provides continues to grow. To give an idea of what's available, users can watch movies on Netflix or Hulu, internet radio on LastFM and Pandora, and TV shows through NBC, FOX, and ABC.
How do I turn my computer into a "theater" system?
Well, that's difficult to say: every computer and TV has different attributes that make it difficult for us to write an end-all-be-all tutorial. Roughly stated, users can connect their TV to their computer, buy a PC remote control, and watch Boxee from their couch.
