How to Get Movies on Boxee

Boxee is a media service that allows you to stream movies and TV shows to your television. Boxee downloads the movie or show you want to watch from one of several online media sites such as YouTube, Hulu and Netflix. You need a Boxee box to receive these incoming video streams and display them on your TV set. Once the hardware is installed, all you need to do is surf the Web and find some great movies to watch. You can search for a specific movie or choose from a list of popular films.
