Madness at Fox and NBC

On Thursday www.hulu.com announced that they will not permit viewers who are using Boxee software to access Internet Video streams. Background Hulu is a website owned by NBC and Fox that provides high quality streaming of popular television shows and movies. Most of the shows are from NBC and Fox, but others are also available such as Comedy Central’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report. The website is entirely legal and supported with advertising. Additionally, there are over 100 movies. Boxee offers free software for Apple computers (and Apple TV) enabling the devices to access a larger number of online sites, like Hulu, where Internet Video is legitimately available. Boxee’s basic advantage is that it permits users to control the interface with a simple six-button remote made by Apple. There are two ramifications. First, it permits Apple TV users to get Internet Video at many websites instead of merely iTunes, and watch them on the TV. Second, if an Apple computer is connected to a television, the user gets to watch the Internet Video on the TV screen and control it with a simple remote. Present Action Hulu has been told by Fox and NBC to deny access to consumers using Boxee software. The parent companies apparently don’t want Hulu content to display on a TV screen.
