What is Boxee ?
Boxee is a front-end program used to play video and audio streams from such sources as BBC iPlayer, The Comedy Channel and MTV. It supports HDTV and can be used as an alternative to Miro.

Currently Boxee only runs on 32 bit Ubuntu and is available for Hardy Heron (8.04), Intrepid Ibex (8.10) and Jaunty Jackalope (9.04). There are ways of running it on 64 bit Ubuntu in the various forums. Please note that the software is still in development.
