Well, let's see :(...
it requires you to login to hulu or netflix from Safari first before you can see anything
it's slow and klunkie (a technical term)
They need to do more integration work so it's a seemless experience, it's not for the casual user.
Searches don't work the same way as if I directly access the services (I don't get the same results, if any!:eek:)
Nice idea,but it needs work.
I would rather see Boxee in FrontRow

I think you just have to go into any browser to setup your Hulu and Netflix queue. Not necessarily Safari.
Has anyone gotten this to work on the ATV yet? Im curious how it handles Netflix.
Here is another article.

It probably can't handle netflix, as it doesn't support silverlight does it?

You need to log into Hulu and Netflix via Safari so OS X recognizes your credentials allowing you to stream. I didn't experience it being "slow and klunkie" at all, but it is early alpha.

How do you install it onto AppleTV?
