Update

An update on how things have gone so far...

-We've had a couple issues with Boxee lately. I'm not sure what the problem is, but we couldn't play NBC shows through Boxee.

-Any time there is an issue, there is almost always a backup. Programs like Boxee and Windows Media Center, even Hulu, are just consolidation tools. When Boxee wasn't working with NBC shows, for instance, we just went to NBC.com and watched it in our browser- there is always a workaround.

-The Boxee "queue" feature is amazing. I've talked about it before, but it is basically DVR for internet TV. Even if you aren't able to watch a show directly through Boxee (like with NBC recently) you can mark a show as watched and remove it from your queue. A nice feature so you know which of your shows you need to catch up on.

-On our trip, we did have some issues with streaming video because of slow internet connections. These were public wireless networks though, so in your own home, you shouldn't have any issues. (Streaming video is just watching video online, not downloading the movie, but playing it on your computer when it is stored on a different computer via the web)

-The HD antenna was a great decision. I get great reception and watched UK's SEC tourney games no problem. I definitely recommend getting an amplified antenna and keeping some tin foil around.

-ChannelSurfing.net is a great site where you can stream live feeds of ESPN and other channels. The quality is not that good, though.

-ESPN360.com is great. I've watched parts of a couple games on it and it is great quality and is exactly what you get when you watch on cable.

-I have yet to catch Amy setting up something for her to watch by herself. We pretty much only watch TV together, so that probably explains most of it, but I'm not sure if she's 100% comfortable with this yet. Just a thought for those of you who are married/have roommates.

That's all for now. I'll try to update sooner next time. I know all 8 of you are really dying for more posts.
