Hulu asks Boxee to pull content, it complies
Engadget —
... That was short lived -- it hasn't been six months since Boxee added one of its most popular features yet and now Hulu is putting a stop to it. A real reason wasn't given -- big surprise -- but Hulu is saying it was at the reqest of the content providers. ...
Boxee Loses Hulu Later This Week [Boxee]
Gizmodo —
Well, this is a steaming pile of suck. Hulu's content providers have decided they don't like their shows streamed to your TV via Boxee, so Hulu is turning off the spigot later this week. Boxee says they'll be removing Hulu this Friday. Hulu CEO Jason Kilar is smarter than his corporate content masters (News Corp and NBC Universal) and realizes how bad their decision to turn off access via Boxee is: "We realize that there is no immediate win here for users." It's not a win for Hulu, either, since it means Boxee users are more likely to turn to ...
Boxee Relucantly Pulls Plug On Hulu, Sheds Digital Tear
GadgetReview —
In a sad bit of news, Boxee is removing their much beloved Hulu support at the request of content providers. A specific reason was not given but I imagine it all boils down to one thing. Actually, most everything these days boils down to one thing: the love of money. Pretty sad really and the ones who are losing out are the users. We can only hope this doesn’t turn into a trend.

... the show. In another example of bullying, the Fox network only allows new “House” episodes to be posted eight days after initial airing. Even then, the episodes are only up for a limited time. Network greediness is definitely rearing its ugly head.
As if Hulu didn’t have it bad enough, it also announced today that it is cutting ties from the CBS-owned TV.com due to contractual issues.

Shownotes:
Hulu is being taken off Boxee’s available content. No one is happy about the decision, but Jason Kilar’s approach to the situation is commendable. I get the impression that he realizes having to do this is as boneheaded as we all think it is.
A year ago, I hosted a panel on 4G. Back then, no one was really talking about it except for a select few, but now we’re beginning to see some action. Verizon Wireless chose Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent as network vendors for deployment of 4G in the US. This is going to be exciting as it begins ...
TV Networks Force Hulu Off TV Screens
Wired: Gadget Lab —
Boxee, the software that turns computers and Apple TVs into media centers, has been forced to drop support for Hulu, the excellent TV and movie-on-demand service. Why? Because Boxee puts the shows on the wrong kind of screen.
If you think this is absurd, you are correct. Here's what happened, according to a Hulu blog post: "Our content providers requested that we turn off access to our content via the Boxee product."
So essentially the networks, which provide content to Hulu, told them that people couldn't watch these shows on a TV screen. Boxee is a popular and easy to use piece ...
Boxee, Hulu Continue Battle
Today @ PC World —
boxee hulu video The once-pleasant harmony between Boxee and Hulu has now soured into a push-and-pull battle for Boxee to gain permanent access to Hulu's content. Hulu access was suspended last month and separate blog posts by both Hulu and Boxee indicate they were eager to reach a mutually beneficial solution. Since then, access has been given and taken away several times. On Saturday, it looked as though Boxee had nabbed its mouse using public RSS feeds . "As we've seen over the past few weeks, users will take matters into their own hands to get the content they want. Witnessing this, ...

... in the Wrong The fact of the matter, Hulu, is that a web browser is a web browser, no matter where it's running, and your ads play just as well on consumer's TVs as they do on their monitors. When you start blocking applications like Boxee from accessing your content solely because it's using a different interface to access your video than you had imagined, you're alienating the early adopters that made your site popular in the first place. [image] Hulu has clearly stated that the content providers are behind the block , but none of that really matters to users. Fact is, one ...
