Abstract
TR is a digital box which uses the power of Boxee and Slingbox as one to revolutionize the way Canadians view television. Much like Facebook, TR allows the user to connect with their friends and families by logging into a personalized TR account at home using the TR
digital box to view content on their television set, or using Boxee to view content online. Once logged into their TR
account, the user can rate and recommend the content they watch, chat (through Facebook live chat or Twitter) while viewing content, or review their friends' recent viewing activities. TR
allows for 100% user control. Viewers can also watch a station live, or go back and watch a show they've missed.

Description
Project TR: "Television Revolution"
Bringing the things we love about the Internet to Television.
FACT: In February 2009, analog systems will be shut off and we will enter the digital era.
I would like to change the way Canadians view television and media.
Television networks are teasing Canadians with content control by offering on demand viewing.
As technology increases it's potential, I would like to bring something that would be a first in Canada, perhaps a first in the world.
Using the power and technology of Boxee and Slingbox made into one device I
would like to propose the new era of television - the Project TR digital box.
About Boxee: on a laptop or connected to an HDTV, Boxee gives you a true entertainment experience to enjoy your movies, TV shows, music and photos, as well as streaming content from websites like Hulu, Netflix, ABC, CBS, Comedy Central, Last.fm, and flickr.
(www.boxee.com) About Slingbox: a TV streaming device that enables users to remotely view their home's cable, satellite, or personal video recorder (PVR) programming from an Internet-enabled computer with a broadband Internet connection. (www.slingmedia.com)
