    Well, thats probably because you're using it in Ireland, right? Correct me if I'm wrong here because I don't know the ins and outs of the boxee, but it mostly relies on services like Hulu and Netflixs that aren't readily available outside the US due to copyright laws.

    Get the navi-x app. There is an unbelievable amount of content on it. Nearly all not geo blocked as well.

    You could install boxee on your laptop and use a cable to connect the laptop to the TV, then you can view all the content on the boxee (mostly crap haven't tried that app mentions above) and also movies on your hard drive. If you have a smartphone you can use the boxee app to control the boxee on your laptop.

    Me personally much prefer xbmc and i connect my pc to my tv for viewing content like movies and icefilms.

    Hope this helps :)
