Netflix on Boxee Box – Happy Valentine’s Day
It’s no secret that there are Boxee Box fans here at RGB. The coolest looking little media player has proven itself to be a very flexible workhorse. Today, Boxee CEO Avner Ronen posted that the newest update has started rolling out, and with it, the long-awaited Netflix compatibility for both the US and Canada. You can either wait until the update rolls out over the next 24 hours, but if you just can’t wait, you can always go into the settings and get it manually.
For those waiting for other features such as better IR remote support and Dolby Digital TrueHD, well you can be happy in knowing that you haven’t been forgotten. Now, if only someone would get Hulu up here…
