When last we reported on the odd relationship between the Hulu Internet TV service and Boxee media center software–part tango, part warfare–Hulu was doing everything in its power to foil Boxee fans who simply wanted to watch Hulu programming via Boxee’s TV-friendly interface. Today, the company launched a new product: Hulu Desktop. It lets you […]

Hulu Goes Medieval on Boxee
Posted by Harry McCracken on March 6, 2009 at 4:58 pm
At first, the kerfuffle involving the way startup Boxee used clever software to bring Hulu’s Internet TV service to TV sets was rather gentlemanly. Hulu asked Boxee to remove it, and explained why in a blog post that was almost apologetic–and which pretty much blamed it all on Hollywood content owners. Boxee thoughtfully replied in […]
Hulu Returns To Boxee (Kind of)
Posted by Ed Oswald on March 6, 2009 at 8:29 am
Talks have so far proven unsuccessful between Hulu and Boxee after the online TV giant asked the media-center software startup to remove its service from its application for Macs, Apple TV, and Windows. (I’m guessing Hulu’s owners’ pet project is playing a part here), but the set-top box company has come up with a temporary […]
Hulu Gives Boxee the Boot. Thanks, Hollywood!
Posted by Harry McCracken on February 18, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Okay, now this just stinks: Boxee, the cool software that lets you pipe Internet TV and other digital media onto a TV set, is doing away with its support for Hulu, the most significant purveyor of streaming versions of broadcast TV programming. I take the move personally, since I recently bought an Apple TV in […]
CES 2011: Iomega Does iPhone Backup, Boxee, and the "Personal Cloud"
Posted by Harry McCracken on January 4, 2011 at 8:59 am
Venerable storage company Iomega has made its CES announcements. They include a unique new iPhone/iPod Touch dock, two TV boxes that are the first ones to run the Boxee software since D-Link’s original Boxee Box, and Web-enabled updates to its network storage products. Waitaminnit–what is a storage company like Iomega doing making an iPhone dock? […]

Hulu announced today that the preview phase of Hulu Plus is over, and that the service now costs $8 per month. If you’ve been paying $10 per month during the preview period, Hulu will credit the difference to your account. And if you haven’t tried Hulu Plus, the site is offering free one-week trials (current […]
Boxee Box Ships
Posted by Harry McCracken on November 11, 2010 at 4:44 am
D-Link is shipping the Boxee Box. The network Web sites will presumably block it, but it has Vudu, is going to get Netflix and Hulu Plus, and has a ton of other features.
Boxee Gets Vudu–on the Box, PCs, and Macs
Posted by Harry McCracken on October 28, 2010 at 6:00 am
The next chapter in the great Internet TV Box wars of 2010 will come next month, when D-Link ships the $199.99 Boxee Box, the long-awaited gadget which will compete with Apple TV, Google TV devices such as Logitech’s Revue, and Roku. Despite the fact that it’s almost here, it hasn’t been completely revealed–neither D-Link nor […]
The Boxee Box: Nearly Here, Still a Contender
Posted by Harry McCracken on September 13, 2010 at 7:30 am
What a difference a year makes. When Boxee and D-Link unveiled the Boxee Box in late 2009, things were pretty quiet on the Internet-TV-in-the-living-room front. Now, after a bit of a delay, the companies are getting ready to ship the Box in November. And it’ll compete against the all-new Apple TV, set-top boxes and TVs […]

Hulu Plus will cost $9.99 a month and provide full access to entire seasons (current and past) of shows from ABC, NBC, FOX, and other TV networks. And it’ll be […]
