That's too bad.  It makes me unlikely to use both Boxee and Hulu, since
the main attraction for me was being able to watch Hulu content without
the awkwardness of trying to use a web browser on a television.

I find it odd that content providers are fighting convergence.  I suppose
they want to protect their own narrow channels, but it doesn't seem like a
good idea if the goal is to reach more eyeballs.
