Boxee, the Internet/computer-to-television connection tool, successfully streamed their live Beta unveiling on Livestream on Monday, December 7th.

Boxee Box, its first hardware device, is a free, open source software program that runs on just about any computer that’s connected to the Internet and a screen.

It will also make life easier for users, enabling people to quickly find the entertainment they want, and display it in a more organized layout.

Major new features include:

  • A redesigned interface
  • Improved navigation
  • The ability to search for TV shows and movies both on the Internet and on local networks
  • A queuing function, most likely similar to what Hulu has now.
  • Shortcuts for apps, movies, and other programs
