There's a reason why content providers don't embrace Boxee. NBC and Fox control Hulu. That makes it safe. Hulu won't start showing programming outside of what the major content creators make. Boxee, with its open philosophy, would welcome high-quality non-establishment content. If people get into the habit of using Hulu, they don't have to compete with new content creators. If people get into the habit of using Boxee, lots of people could start creating content and having access to the same distribution channel. That's dangerous for the studios who like to have near-monopoly conditions for their content.
I didn't say it was a good reason, just that it was a reason.
