The AppleTV just keeps getting better. My tech benefactor hooked me up with a Boxee invite this week, and I installed it on the ATV at noon today. It’s a slick interface. Built on the vaunted XBox Media Center, Boxee plays all sorts of video formats and streams radio and video from places like Hulu and last.fm on the ‘Net. And the best part, for me, is that Boxee is a super simple install, so long as you have a 1GB USB stick around. The last.fm integration alone is worth the Boxee download, but I haven’t had a chance to play with all the bells and whistles. I’m eager to see how the product improves over time, as the current release is still an invite-only alpha.
