Looks great, but a lot of the content seems to come from sites like hulu. Therefore people outside the US can't watch it.
However, delevoping a plugin that plays videos from fancast.com shouldn't be that hard as the code for Flash-sites like hulu is already there.

Put me down for Fancast! Would be cool to see support for both, their free content and rental/purchase services as well!

Peace,

Does fancast provide any content of it's own? It's purpose seems to be to provide a single point of access for video collected from other sources across the internet... much like what boxee already does. It looks as though most or all of their sources are already available on boxee.

@Pip:

It is owned by Comcast and hence the long reach in terms of content and ability to offer a good selection of both, free and pay-per-view content. A value add to Boxee in my view.

I'm not opposed to Fancast, it would be a great addition. However, I'm doubting whether or not Comcast would let this happen (given that boxee is emerging as competition to cable tv)....

Access to an online movie store would certainly be a nice addition, but I'd give my vote to Amazon Unbox. I have a longstanding hatred of Comcast so I'm not exactly impartial here.
