I spent some time this evening reading the comments on the Hulu blog post. It's the same content on the same device coming through the same pipe and the only difference is safari is a browser optimized for a computer with a keyboard and a mouse and Boxee is a browser optimized for a TV and a remote. Now I watch Hulu on my living room TV in Boxee: I used to watch Hulu on my living room TV in the Safari browser: Here's how I came to understand the power of Boxee. And Boxee is by far the best TV browser out there for a host of reasons that I outlined in this post when we made our investment in Boxee. Content owners may initially see broswers and RSS readers optimized for TV viewing as disruptive and threatening, but just like mobile browsers are the friend of content owners, so are TV browsers. Boxee is also an RSS reader optimized for the 10 ft experience. Much like mobile browsers on phones, Boxee renders the content it finds on the web in a way that optimizes it for the device it runs on (in Boxee's case that is the TV). Boxee's management is committed to working with Hulu to make that happen as Avner, Boxee's CEO outlined on the Boxee blog.īoxee is a browser optimized for the 10 ft experience. I hope it is a short separation that leads toward a long and happy relationship. Unfortunately, Boxee has yet to be successful with that effort and later this week Hulu content will disappear from Boxee. For the past several weeks I have watched Boxee's management try their hardest to convince Hulu that Boxee is a big step forward for Hulu and Hulu's content partners. For those that don’t know, Union Square Ventures is an investor in Boxee and I am on the board.
