Hi All, I discovered yesterday late last night boxee.net. - http://boxee.net/index2.php. Its basically the most advanced media centre I've ever seen. Its built on top of the xbox media centre (xbmc) so it plays everything and supports resolutions up to 1080p. Its hard to describe but the integration between the net and local media is very tight.
I had a play yesterday night (3am) and was pretty blown away. It feels like XBMC, acts like XBMC and even has the same defaults and bugs as the current XBMC. But has a simpler interface and could be pushed to a mainstream audience. Its Mac and Ubuntu only right now and doesn't support live TV through a tuner card just like xbmc, but who cares when everything's going ip right? The site is all locked up to a private alpha right now but there's a review here and even a video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzXu05ZuvII | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwQG-4kT7FE&NR=1 Hopefully I'll get some invites for backstagers soon - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
