What happened? You changed the formating of the show and my 5th Gen Ipod Video says no way, the video is not compatible with this ipod! when are you going to get the alternative options up and running as discussed on the show?
Aside from that, i really enjoy watching the show guys!

The Mevio Flash player and the iPod download should both be working now. We apologize for the inconvenience. We attribute it to gremlins and growing pains.

Thanks for your patience in this transition!

Closed Alpha on Boxee and it has been that way since I heard about it a very long time ago. So this is the program that is going to run on everything yet make future revenue by selling a box to run it on. What is going to stop everyone else from producing a set top box to run Boxee. Well I hope everyone keeps smiling because this is a failed business model if I ever heard one. Maybe you can make money with support from companies like CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, and other major media outlets and web media content providers. No wait, they want to make ad revenue by having you surf to their web sites to hopefully see info about new shows when you browse for your favorite.

I wish you the best of luck, your going to need it.

I finally had a chance to try Boxee. I can't say my stance on the business model has change much. I can say, WOW, what a fantastic mutimedia environment. I can certainly see why everyone is smiling so big. This is a wonderful application and it is going to change how many people get their mutimedia content.
I will certainly donate to the cause if this is the only way to keep the funding going. With a few improvements I could see Microsoft buying the rights to use this in a future OS. Microsoft media center is worthless.
