Boxee is releasing on Thursday a new version of its media center software that adds support for Netflix Watch Instantly streaming movies. Unlike streaming solutions from Roku and Microsoft's Xbox 360, Boxee's effort includes the option to both browse and search through Netflix's library. Roku's box and the Xbox are currently limited to showing users the videos from their saved queues. The two also require special hardware (and in the Xbox's case a paid Xbox Live Gold membership), whereas Boxee works on any Intel-Mac or Linux PC. Boxee's service is not yet available for Windows. Another caveat: Netflix streaming is not yet available for the AppleTV version of Boxee. I'm told the main reason is that Microsoft Silverlight, which is what Netflix uses as a delivery method for its streaming content, has hardware requirements roughly double that of the processor inside the AppleTV. Silverlight requires a 1.83GHz dual-core Intel processor, while the AppleTV only sports a 1GHz "Cr ...

Hi all... there have been a lot of questions as to how the full episodes will be working this year, and so far it hasn't gotten off to a smooth start. The way things work this year are a little different from last year as the CBC has made a few changes on how shows get encoded. Because most shows now go to iTunes as well as online, there is a group that encodes all of the video. With more shows online this year, there has been a bit of a backlog. That's mostly been taken care of, so the new episodes should be going up on the Monday after the show airs at the latest. As for first season episodes, we're looking at the contract to make sure we still have rights to stream season 1. Things look good, though. In addition to the new video encoding system, we have new video players as well that now allow full screen viewing and some other additional features. However, it's taking a bit of time to migrate stuff over to the new player. Hopefully by the end of today, we'll have a player up there that will allow ...
