Boxee Adds ABC Network Support

Let's face it.  No HTPC solution has been more aggressive towards obtaining online content sources than Boxee has.  The latest Mac version of Boxee just released today supports ABC with plans to release an AppleTV version within the next few days.  The Boxee team also says ABC will not be available for Windows or Ubuntu versions for the moment.

That means Boxee has the following online video providers available:

TV SERVICES (some movie/video also):

  • ABC
  • Hulu
  • CBS
  • Comedy Central
  • CNN
  • The WB
  • MySpaceTV
  • BBC iPlayer for UK users

MOVIE/VIDEO SERVICES:

  • Netflix
  • Joost
  • YouTube
  • Apple Movie Trailers
  • CNet
  • Revision3

MUSIC SERVICES:

  • MTV Music
  • Last.fm

PHOTO SHARING SERVICES:

  • Flickr
  • Picasa
  • Boston Globe's "The Big Picture"

Good timing for Boxee with the new Lost season just starting last night.  It's nice to have the online video sources as a backup for the rare moments when I miss recording a show with my HTPC.
