Boxee Update Brings Hulu Streaming To Apple TV
Oct 21st, 2008 | By James Lewin | Category: Internet TV, Streaming Video, VideoBoxee has announced an update which adds Hulu support to the open source social media center:
our forums, twitter and inbox are filled with messages such as “now if I could only play Hulu on boxee..â€, “give me Hulu!â€, or my personal favorite “if you somehow figured out how to make Hulu work… I will kiss you on the mouth. ;)†(hey @beiting we figured it out! hope you’re a good kisser)
we just released a new alpha version of boxee that includes:
- streaming TV shows, movies and clips from Hulu, CBS, Comedy Central and MySpaceTV (we integrated their players into boxee)
- major changes to the UI
- web interface to adding RSS feeds
- improved performance
… and yes the new version is also available for Apple TV (click upgrade and its there).
Boxee plays media from your computer and other devices in your home network, and can connect you to various Internet sources that allow you to stream or download movies, tv shows, music and photos. Versions are available for Mac, Windows, Linux and Apple TV.
Here’s a video intro to Boxee:
I just started watching my favorite tv programs on hulu and love it. For Christmas I got an apple tv….and I love it….Now I find out that I can put the two together and have been researching it on the internet. Now I understand that it is only available to those with an invitation…..I would love to be part of this but how do I obtain an invite…is there someone I need to contact…if so ..please let me know…..Thanks for the information….Mark
