I think boxee and this VC are obfuscating the important point that Hulu's content providers and its owners are one in the same. Hulu is jointly owned by NBC Universal and News Corp (owner of FOX and 21st Century Fox). So, in the end, neither the stockholders nor the stakeholders support Boxee. This is no surprise; why should they want to nurture a less lucrative distribution channel on the same medium as their primary source of revenue?
