I'm a Boxee alpha tester - not sure how many invites it'll allow me to
send, but if interested, ping me off-list and I'll see what works.
We're looking at contributing SlipStream functionality to Boxee for
STBs, once Boxee stops crashing my MBP for long enough to figure it out.
cheers

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

Hopefully I'll get some invites for backstagers soon
