Boxee Survey Results

Comments (Archived):

1. content aggregation – worth a try i suppose

   1. It’s a bit more than aggregation, although that is certainly one of the mainbenefitsI see it as a platform to build on via extensions

2. Would love an invite, please!

3. Fred, I love your blog, your .fm, and I am really excited about boxee. Can you nudge me into the queue for an invite? Thanks,Drake

4. Fred, I took the survey. I found the survey kind of bogus. It had an response that was “don’t care” for a specific question, yet when you selected that and submitted the survey it came back are required that you selected another response. Don’t care wasn’t really a valid response.So there are a lot of responses that just chose some random answer to the question. In my case I didn’t know what a specific service was and in the case where I didn’t know I wanted to answer don’t care but couldn’t.

   1. there was a bug in the form… i put in the “don’t care” option after i posted the survey. the first user to take it (my wife) said she really needs this option (since she didn’t know some of the services)… but i guess changing the form while users were entering data was not a great idea…

5. Would love an invite. Thx for a great blog!

6. hey fred, i would love an invite. thanks! jdcashwell at gmail dot com

10. Fred, would love an invite. Thanks! darren

11. Love trying new things! Thank you for the invite, Helen

12. If you still have invites for Boxer, Id love to try it out. We’ve had a Mac mini hooked up to our livingroom LCD for a couple of years now. The offeringsfrom Apple have been a bit limited. We’d love to give Boxee a try.

13. Boxee invite, please?

14. I’d love an invite to try it on my appletv. I’m most interested in hulu and comedy central, which I know boxee already supports. Thanks.

15. Invite s’il vous plait

16. Hey Fred — Please send a boxee invite my way.

17. i’m interested in a boxee invite — everyone i know who’s using it loves itthanks!

18. Would love an invite as well. Thanks

19. I would greatly appreciate an invite! Thanks in advance.

20. I found it interesting (and surprising!) that .Mac was popular, but I guess after Flickr, Facebook etc. there aren’t *many* other places to go.Once the BBC release an API for their iPlayer and start allowing 3rd party apps, integration of their services will be key in breaking the UK market, a for many people at the moment, online television IS the iPlayer.Would love an invite if you can please Fred – sounds like a great service, looking forward to trying it out. Many thanks 🙂

    1. I doubt it. BBC actively blocks users from other countries from content on their website and iPlayer. And i doubt the international version (whenever its released) will allow quick access to new shows.(downloads BBC shows from usenet about a half hour after they air in the UK)

21. I’d like an invite. Thanks, Fred.

22. Hi Fred. I’d like an invite as well. Thanks.

23. Would love an invite too – boxee at geoffjones.com 🙂

24. One more request for an alpha invite to Boxee…

25. Fred, If invites are still available I’d love to grab one. Dropping Comcast would be feel SO good. 🙂

26. May I offer a suggestion? Have them update the website to actually reflect what boxee does. I watched the video (which doesn’t appear correctly using firefox on a mac btw) and I still don’t understand where they are going with it nor why I should abandon the other dozen media distribution services I already have in my home.In other words – what Value does it bring?

    1. Its an open (meaning you can build extensions on top of it) platform foraggregating both file based and streaming media for the family room/livingroom. It currently supports video, audio, and images.

27. Fred,Please send me one. [email protected]

71. Fred, would love invite. Thanks in advance.reich dot ny at googlemail dot com

72. As a burgeoning web tv, podcast, blog site – which we will deploy in the next month or so – I’d like to see services like Boxee be able to take our content -say from a player like Vimeo, Youtube HD, or our podcasts, find it, and make it available to a wider audience. We’d like to automate that process, a “reverse tube mogul” as it were. To that point is there a white paper or information on how to make our site Boxee friendly?

    1. Boxee can pull any video blog’s content in via rss

73. Fred, would love an invite. Thanks.

76. Fred, Thanks for offering to bring us into the loop. I would love an invite. I reached an interesting point, where almost 75% of my time watching TV is now on the internet, as a result, Boxee is very intriguing.

77. This looks interesting. I would like to give it a try.

    1. Did I send you an invite yet?

79. I know that for me as a relative media laggard, the main reason for my sorry state is all the in and out you need to work through in order to get what you want from the myriad of sources. Boxee could be huge. Looking forward to trying it. Ted

90. I would love an invite as well.I’ve used tivo and MS Media Center and I’m still waiting for a media player to have a decent easy to use extension model (Tivo’s SDK release should be a case study in how not to release an API btw). Here’s to hoping for boxee!

112. Slingbox: I’m surprised not to see it in the survey results. I know it’s in a different category and there may be issues, but it’s a prime conduit of content for me and I’d think it would be at least asked about via this survey.

121. A Boxee invite would be great for my Apple TV!
