Where Netflix and Hulu

[seanmccully]

Where are the Netflix and Hulu apps? I just got my boxee box a couple of days ago, and all information says they are there and I've seen screenshots but they arent there. I've run the updater, and it updated changing the UI to this new boxee UI. Still no Netflix or Hulu.

There has been no official word on it other than netflix _should_ be out by the end of the year. Hulu is eventually. and its not even hulu, its hulu plus.

Sorry, I wish netflix was out from the get go too.

So are people using private repositories with custom apps to get Hulu/Hulu Plus or Netflix?

I would like to see Hulu/Plus more then netflix. Netflix is on ton of devices.

No, Hulu Plus and Netflix apps that actually work with those services have to be validated by those services. Third-party apps won't work.

The Netflix app on the old version of the software (0.9) works, but it's old and a bit clunky. It's currently being rewritten for the 1.0 software on the Boxee Box and should be available soon.

The free version of the Hulu service used to work on Boxee, but Hulu has blocked the Boxee Box and the Boxee software from operating with their free service due to the demands of the major television networks who own Hulu. There are services that can somewhat take their place (like Fancast), but we won't be getting Hulu on the Boxee Box until either it's hacked (which, as far as I'm aware, hasn't yet occurred) or the Hulu Plus application is finished.

Here's the latest word on the situation.
