Like I say in my description, my interests are varied. So I've decided that you all must know about this new program that I'm running that has turned my television experience upside down. It's called "Boxee" and it's a neat little program that packs a huge punch. Specifically, it's punching standard Satellite and Cable TV right in the gonads. The program installs on your computer (or you can order a pre-made version). You plug your computer into your TV, and voila! you have videos streaming from all the major networks (Via your local network's streaming services, and depending on where you are viewing from that could change) YouTube, Netflix, TED, etc etc all on your TV, without having to browse through their websites (which are usually full of advertisements)
Boxee turns your TV into a communications hub for all your entertainment needs. Because of it, I don't have cable at all. Why would you pay for cable, when you have everything you want on demand. Check it out for yourselves! It works on Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac. The only downside is that it does not support Netflix for Ubuntu... but this is due to Netflix using exclusively Microsoft Silverlight, which does not run on Linux :-(
