VUDU. Does that name ring a bell? If you have been paying attention to the media streaming world the past few years, it might. The company began by offering a set-top box solution, much like Roku has recently. The box was only for movie rentals and purchases, though, so no other outside streaming from places like Hulu. Since it was so limited...

The media streamer market has really become crowded as of late, with the new Apple TV, a few new Roku boxes and tons of lesser-known products coming to light. It's clear that the Web is the next big portal for content, and now Boxee is hoping to enjoy some of this market with the Boxee Box, produced by D-Link. The Box...

The little HTPC (Home Theater PC) and media center software start-up, Boxee, has been making a splash on the web scene since it first debuted in public beta back in January 2010. The software was developed in an effort for cross-platform support and as such, has received a lot of air-play on the internet by end users, social media as...

Well, this explains a lot. The Boxee Box has been somewhat of a unicorn over the past months, with delay after delay sinking the hype that came with the product's initial launch. Back in June, it was reported that the Boxee Box was being delayed until November. Now, we think we know why. Originally, the Boxee Box was going to be based on an...

And so it begins. Boxee, which has generally let users access a wealth of free online content from a variety of locations, has finally seen the light: you need premium content (or a great Plan B) to stay afloat in today's environment. The company has been quoted as saying that they aren't planning to make anything...

Waiting is a tough, tough thing. Waiting on a new gadget is even tougher. Late last year, the folks at Boxee seemed to think that the Boxee Box (which was being built by D-Link) would be available to consumers in the first half of 2010. It's sort of tough to believe, but the first half of 2010 is just about over. With the latter half quickly...

Did Google miss a critical opportunity? Some might say they did. Google has obviously capitalized on quite a number of market openings, paving the way for true smartphone competition with Android, putting Yahoo! and MSN on their toes with Google search, and putting Yahoo! Mail as well as Hotmail on guard with Gmail. And that's just the beginning....

Boxee has quickly grown from a niche application meant only for Mac users to a Web content portal that everyone wants a piece of. Even D-Link, who agreed to create a uniquely shaped set-top box earlier in the year meant specifically for putting Boxee on the television and giving consumers the ability to finally squash...

Boxee just might be the most beloved piece of free software on the Internet today, particularly by those who prefer to get their entertainment from the Web rather than more conventional outlets like the television or radio. But up until now, Boxee has been a piece of software that requires a full-fledged computer to...

Apple TV and Boxee, together once again. And that's exactly how it should be. If you have followed the tragic saga between these two, you would know that it was once easy to hack the Apple TV and get Boxee's content portal on there, which made Apple's set-top box a lot more functional and provided easy access to a ton of Web-based programming....

The relationship between Boxee and Hulu has been strained ever since early 2009, when Hulu suddenly and unexpectedly removed its content from being available to Boxee users. If you're not aware, Boxee is merely a software overlay that acts as a portal to web content; it essentially opens content from web sites the same way a typical web browser...

A post over at the Boxee team blog reveals that the company is planning to implement a payment platform that will enable users to purchase content with a click of the remote. The goal is to entice more content producers to use Boxee for distribution. Here's what the Boxee team blog had to say...Users want to see more content on Boxee. Content...

NVIDIA's Tegra chip has barely been around long enough to gain traction. Microsoft's Zune HD uses it and a few lesser-known devices can claim the same, but outside of that, Tegra hasn't really lived a life in the spotlight. With the attention that Ion has received, we get the feeling that Tegra 2 will be a different story.As of today, you...

What a couple of years it has been for Boxee. Granted, 2008 and 2009 hasn't been the easiest years for startups to gain funding and solicit business, but somehow Boxee has struck a chord with consumers. It just so happened to surface at the right time in order to take the world by storm, and by and large it has yet to...

Boxee has been on a wild, wild ride since debuting to the world last year, and for those looking for new ways to catch more content online, it has become the go-too application. And while it has certainly taken off, there's still lots of room to grow. One of the main reasons that it has yet to become a household name outside of the tech community...

We've always heard that something's "on" when it hits the mainstream, so we guess it's about time we finally confessed that Internet TV has emerged from the closet. For the longest while, Hulu, Boxee and the like dominated the underground Web TV content scene, but it wasn't too long ago that major cable companies like Comcast and Time Warner...

Wow, can you believe it? At long last, Boxee is on Windows. It's sort of strange how one of the world's most popular applications first arrived on Mac, then Linux and on Windows last, but at least the world's most popular operating system can now run the program natively. In what we're considered the company's most significant announcement...

Slide over Boxee, as there's a new broadband video portal in town. ZeeVee, which originally hit the scene over a year ago with its ZvBox, has returned to glory with a fresh new take on its long-standing ZViewer. The software, which has been reworked and re-released as 'Zinc' Beta 3, acts as a unified interface for finding great online content...

Way back in July of 2008, it was a feature request: an iPhone "remote" app to control Boxee. And now, after weeks of App Store review (no kidding; check the submission date on the app) the Boxee remote app is live in the App Store, for the excellent price of free. Boxee does categorize the remote as "very basic," but they're taking suggestions,...

Well, that was quick. On the very same day that boxee proudly introduced the newest, greatest and most feature-packed version of its media browsing software, Hulu has shot down what was arguably the best addition. This morning, Boxee told its users that the new version enabled access to public RSS feeds, and yes, Hulu's feeds were included...

People kind of went batguano crazy when Hulu insisted its content be taken off Boxee because its content providers freaked out and insisted on it.Since then, Boxee has been in talks with Hulu and its content providers to come up with a workable solution that would allow Boxee users to watch Hulu on their televisions (Boxee, for those who don't...
