Boxee a software that can convert computers, Apple TVs and other products into media centers is being restrained by the major studios content owners. The big feature here is a free access to Hulu's entire catalog on your TV. Boxee now announced that Hulu will no longer be supported.
From Boxee blog:
"two weeks ago Hulu called and told us their content partners were asking them to remove Hulu from boxee. we tried (many times) to plead the case for keeping Hulu on boxee, but on Friday of this week, in good faith, we will be removing it. you can see their blog post about the issues they are facing. "
Again how much handle you, as a producer have, on a free content on other media outlet. This software is allegedly easy and intuitive - If that means fewer ads and the link to partner sites is not as strong as login to Hulu.com directly through a computer, then you can see the reasons.
