BOXEE adding VUDU, Netflix and Hulu Plus
Boxee Box now shipping, Netflix and Hulu Plus coming soon – CNN.com.
Adding to it’s already formidable content lineup, BOXEE is now adding VUDU, Netflix and Hulu Plus access to it’s current platforms as well as the BOXEE BOX which is now shipping. With the introduction of Google TV and Apple TV, many of the “other” content and hardware providers may see the need to create alliances in order to compete with the behemoths. Certainly the addition of these new services make the BOXEE platform much more competitive with Apple and Google.
One possibly overlooked advantage of BOXEE is the ability to play virtually any HD content up to 1080p, from other PCs or a NAS in the home. This feature is a real consideration for users who already have their own video libraries in various formats and resolutions. With the higher resolutions and better quality services, MoCA is a must have for even the average BOXEE customer looking to stream HD video from the Internet or home server.
ABC Shows are Cropping up on Hulu
In April ABC announced that they are going to become a full partner in Hulu. Finally, the shows are being put up on Hulu, the first shows to be up will be Grey’s Anatomy then Desperate Housewives, followed by many, many more. If you want the updates as they come in, you can check out Hulu Days of Summer or follow us on Twitter @MoCABlog.
In addition to “Grey’s Anatomy,” Hulu says it will be introducing more ABC content this week, but the site is not revealing what will be appearing just yet. Instead the site will post daily updates on its Hulu Days of Summer online calendar, and post hints leading up to new content debuts on the company’s Facebook and Twitter feeds.
This leaves CBS as the only major TV network that isn’t on Hulu. People won’t want to be confined to watching their HD television shows on their small computer monitors, they’ll want to watch it on their nice, large, HDTVs and the best way to do that is through MoCA!

Disney joins Hulu | Company Town | Los Angeles Times.
Recognizing that over-the-top video is gaining a bigger audience of new viewers, Disney is now offering full-length TV episodes on Hulu.com and also investing in the company.
Disney will offer full-length episodes of its most popular prime-time shows from its ABC network, including “Lost,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “Desperate Housewives,” as well as such cable offerings such as ABC Family’s “Secret Life of the American Teenager” and Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place.” It will also provide older episodes from ABC’s library, such as “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” and “Dancing with the Stars.”
Viewers can now watch TV reruns from virtually all of the major networks on Hulu which is quickly gaining an audience both on the PC as well as on the TV via the Internet. With more HD video streaming through the home, the need for a MoCA home network becomes even more obvious.
