Andrew from Boxee here - Dan this is a great wrap-up of all the different choices consumer's have for online video. We've come a long way from just a few years ago! With regards to Hulu, we still view them as a hopeful partner down the road once windowing issues are worked out with content providers. And while Boxee has removed our original Hulu app which mimicked the look and feel of their website and had the entire content catalogue, we still do offer a less robust version of Hulu based on their publicly available RSS feeds along which displays their content and the corresponding ads that go with them.
It's still our viewpoint that no one is going to get ALL the content that consumers want to watch so that's why we've built out a platform that lets people play media from most Internet sites, their hard drives, and their home networks - whether it's movies, TV, music, or photos. We think this strategy puts consumers in control, which is what they love about the Internet in the first place.
