Questions before buying a Boxee Box

**shannonw6290** · April 29th, 2012, 01:27 AM

I'm considering investing in a Boxee Box and the Live TV dongle. The only shows I really watch that come on non-local channels are Conan and Breaking Bad. Before I buy the Boxee Box, I want to make sure you can watch both of these shows on the Boxee, pretty soon after they air? (I know Breaking Bad is off-season right now, but still, maybe some of you know if it worked in the past)

Also, I have Boxee installed on my Mac, and I have movies on my Mac that were automatically imported to the Boxee app. Does this mean I can play those same movies movies on my TV as well thru the Boxee Box once I get it?

Finally, I'm a big Spotify user. I know Spotify is supported on Boxee, but when it was first released I read that it was a bit useless...that you couldn't search or shuffle songs, and it seemed like a lot of essential features were missing. Has this improved?

I appreciate any help and tips you can give me. Thanks.

And if you want to play local content almost any format, BB is the way to go!! Personally I feel BB should release a new box with a faster/better chipset.

Breaking Bad is on Netflix. Conan is on TBS, so unless you have a suscription that covers TBS, you maybe SOL unless you find a stream somewhere. The team Coco android app is nice, but only has chunks of shows.
