Oh Happy Day, Boxee Announces New Box with Hulu Support!
Let's face it, Netflix and Hulu rule the streaming media world, both are awesome, and we all want our devices to support them. That hasn't really been a problem with Netflix, which has burst into our living rooms via set to boxes, consoles, Blu-ray players, and scores of other devices. Hulu? Now that's another story.
Well, we have some great news folks. D-Link's new Boxee Box just launched and it supports Netflix, VUDU, and Hulu Plus. Not right away, mind you, but both Netflix and Hulu Plus will be supported "before the end of the year."
On the hardware and connectivity side, the new media streamer comes powered by an Intel processor and includes HDMI out, an Ethernet port, Wireless-N, a pair of USB 2.0 ports, S/PDIF and composite audio connectors, and a SD card reader.
The new Box is available now for $200 street.

Hulu Plus != Hulu. One is $10 a month and the other is awesome. The majority of Hulu's appeal is that it doesn't cost me anything. I'd sooner queue up a few extra programs on my DVR than pay for Hulu.

I've been waiting for this to come out for a while now! I'm excited to try it! I hope it can stream my whole movie collection which are saved in VIDEO_TS folders.

The hardware Boxee pictured above is possibly the ugliest electronic device I've seen in quite some time. The only reason anyone would ever design something so absurd would be to prevent items from being stacked on top of it. It's a good thing for them you can get the software for free and put it on a PC build of your choosing.
Are the major networks playing ball with Boxee or are they also freezing out another way to consume their media by snubbing Boxee? I can't verify quickly what networks TV shows are avaiable in the tagline or detail on the Boxee site. I imagine that anything I'd want to see on Comedy Central, Fox, CBS, NBC would all be unavialble, just like Google TV.
