A year into our new life of watching most of our TV via computer (using bittorrent or Hulu), I’m tired of squinting at the screen or hunting for our latest TV downloads. When Mike first showed us Plex, I didn’t really get the point. But running media center software is like adopting a new religion: you only hear the message when you’re ready for it. My dear friend and home media mentor Mike Kelly points out that he showed me Plex well over a year ago, well before David’s presentation filled me with the urge to Plex-ify. It’s similar to Boxee (though Boxee has the advantage of being cross-platform) but we’ve found it much more stable and usable. Plex is Mac-only software that makes your home media center look - as David Drucker puts it - the way we’ll watch TV in the future. If you’re new to Bittorrent, this blog post isn’t going to make a lot of sense. ![]() You may want to begin by reading this list of ingredients in our home media center setup.
