Boxee Beta

The Boxee Beta is officially out. You can grab it here.

The Beta is available for Mac, Windows and Ubuntu (including 64bit.. :) ). The version is still not available for Apple TV, yet, but we are working with the atv-creator community, and look forward to having news on this front.

In the past 4 weeks since we announced the upcoming Beta we had the help of tens of thousands of early access users who tested the Beta on all different platforms and gave us great feedback. Hundreds of bugs have been opened and we've been working diligently to resolve as many of them as we could. We feel the version deserves the upgrade from Alpha grade to Beta grade, and we're going to spend the next year improving it, so we can release 1.0 at CES next year :)

For more details on what's new in the Beta you check out the blog post from Dec 7th.

As always with a new release we are also launching with new content partners.

"TV Shows" gets content from

TV.com LogoWe're excited to announce that we've signed an agreement with TV.com to bring their show and community information into the Boxee Beta's TV Show menu. TV.com has been a pioneer in building the world's largest online television guide, with the most comprehensive catalog of content covering over a million episodes across 21,000 televisions shows. Their show listings, information and community greatly enhances the television viewing experience for its millions of monthly users. We'll be working over the coming months to give Boxee users access to great TV.com content on popular shows like Family Guy, Heroes, NCIS, South Park, House, and How I Met Your Mother. Stay Tuned!"

blip.tv

blip.tv

blip.tv has been available on Boxee through RSS for a while, but now there  is a Boxee App that makes it easy to browse by Genre or find a show by name. Blip is fast becoming the platform of choice for independent content producers. It offers content owners a quick and easy way to publish their content and as important real opportunities to monetize it.

Mike, Dina, Justin and the rest of the team are executing flawlessly. We love working with them and are proud to be part of the growing NYC start-up scene that Blip and its all-star team is helping to nurture.

IGN

IGN

The IGN brand is synonymous with Gaming online. They've been around since 1996 producing great content and creating a vibrant community around it (IGN has been my primary source for Game Reviews since forever, so I am really excited that we have it on Boxee now). Their focus has expanded since then and today they are "obsessed with Gaming, Entertainment, and everything guys enjoy" :)

The IGN App on Boxee gives you access to their top videos, game reviews and their original series.

The Wolfman

Wolfman

We've just released a new application for the upcoming movie, The Wolfman, which looks awesome.  Check out the new app in the Featured section of Boxee to get a taste of how content producers can very easily create something more compelling for the TV than a traditional 30-second advertisement.

If you need help with installing or using Boxee check out our support section.

If you have ideas for new features you'd like to see in future versions of Boxee please post them on our Get Satisfaction page.
