That's a really useful explanation of the scope and purpose ...thanks.

I guess I don't see what the thrill is, exactly. If it's main function is to provide a single interface to 'channels', and I would still have to suffer through endless credit card commercials, then...sigh. Thanks for the input though.

I have zilch experience with boxee but did spend some time on it's site a couple of weeks ago to see if it might be of utility when viewing tv shows or movies online. For the life of me I could not figure out what its supposed to do 'for me'. The boxee website is a great example of what happens when they people involved are so deeply entrenched in whatever realm boxee is that they have no clue how to communicate to 'regular' people.

A site like hulu is easy to figure out. But it's got too many commercials and they seem to be adding more all the time. Boxee...someone tell me what it's good for? Like you were explaining to someone who didn't know already???

Is zentrack still going anywhere? The demo is offline, most of the documentation web pages are broken, the forums are very inactive. You can't really tell anything about it unless you install it. zentrack sounds good, but they're doing a terrible job of presenting whatever it is they have to offer.
