Boxee TV's Unlimited Cloud-based DVR Holds Users Hostage To Monthly Fees 174
An anonymous reader writes "Boxee has announced the game-changing Boxee TV, offering live streaming TV via two on-board tuners and an industry-first 'No Limit' DVR service that allows users to record as much TV content as they want, and access it from virtually anywhere. The problem is that the unit, which records directly to the cloud, does not allow recording to a local drive, meaning users are stuck with Boxee for as long as they want to access their stored content — potentially hundreds or thousands of hours – to the tune of $14.99 per month until Boxee ups the ante. CEPro.com suggests, 'I suspect Boxee is offering unlimited storage to make users especially beholden to them. The more content you have, the less likely you are to drop the service.'"

It forgets to mention why I'm supposed to be outraged, or upset, or concerned, or... feel anything at all about this.
Didn't you get the memo? Unless otherwise stated those are the default reactions to be assumed for any Slashdot story, along with "confused" and "horny."
