    It's pretty much a moving target

    Boxee indexes some sites/channels and many/most others can be watched via the Browser on the Boxee Box...

    So for example, items available via Hulu/Hulu+ currently aren't available but (on the Boxee Box) you can go to abc.com and play episodes from their website (not ideal, but it does work).

    Other 3rd-party alternatives such as TV Framework (good for Hulu on OS platforms, not the Box), PlayOn (a way to transcode Hulu and other online content via software on your PC to show up on the Boxee Box or OS platforms), and Navi-X seem to meet most people's viewing needs.

    Even if the list weren't so dynamic, it would be WAY too massive to post here. The only viable way to see what's available is to install Boxee on a PC and go to the "TV Show Library" under the TV menu.

    Is there a way to request specific shows be added?

    Right now, I'm using TED and uTorrent to download shows not on the Boxee list - which then show up and can be played thru Boxee. So I still have the convienence of all of my shows being accessible thru a single point (Boxee). That's important to keep it simple enough for my wife to approve of. But doing it that way eats up a lot of hard drive...

    Also, is there a way (Boxee PC) to show a list ALL of the available shows, instead of just the "200 Most Popular" or by genre? That can get a little time consuming or even confusing.
