If you are thinking about cutting your cable bills out of the picture completely, and going online for all your entertainment needs, the Boxee TV is not a bad option under many circumstances. The Boxee TV ($100) is a glorified tuner (includes two tuners), so you to watch one show, while recording another. However, rather than worrying about how much space is on your hard drive, it stores everything in the cloud, and we’re talking about an unlimited amount of storage, even with the basic “free” service.
For $15 a month, you will get the unlimited storage, but will also be able to access your shows from any internet device as often as you like. The paid service is continuing to expand, but at the moment it is only available in NYC, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, San Fran, Atlanta, Philly, and DC. It features DLNA capability (similar to Apple’s AirPlay), and includes apps for some of the most popular streaming channels, including Netflix, YouTube, VUDU, Pandora, Spotify, and MLB.TV
