- justinsb 17y agoAgree - and if/when they do a deal to put Hulu on the Apple TV, then the Apple TV would be a much more compelling product. I like Boxee, but I don't think I would use it if Apple TV provided an easy way to add custom 'websites/channels' e.g. Hulu.
- dgallagher 17y agoBoxee is on Apple TV if you hack it. It did have working Hulu support in the last April 2009 build (currently Hulu isn't working for me on it, as of about 2 weeks ago - they might have broke it again, and Boxee is semi-slow at releasing updates for their Apple TV build). The interface is a bit clunky (due to an underpowered Apple TV). It works and it does give you this "Oh, that's cool!" feeling, but it's not quite there yet. If the interface was sped up more (especially when you're navigating the menu's while a video is playing in the background), I'd love it. Comedy Central and TED video's stream wonderfully! :) Out of the box though, Apple TV is nearly useless unless you buy lots of content off of iTunes for it.
