For those of you who received a Boxee Box for the holidays and were disappointed to find out that both Vudu and Netflix aren’t yet supported, don’t despair, both are coming soon.
“We’re sorry that Vudu and Netflix will not be available on the Boxee Box until January,” Boxee’s Avner Ronen wrote in a blog post. “I know many users will be upset. I am disappointed that we couldn’t make it happen in time for the end of the year. However I’d ask that you put your faith in us. There are countless devices with access to these services available, but I’d like to think you chose Boxee because we offer something different, in our approach, in our commitment, in our passion, in the way we communicate (whether it’s good stuff or bad), and in how quickly we move on the stuff that matters most to our users.”
Ronen says that Vudu should be up and running by the end of next week, which the Boxee team hopes will be enough to pacify users until Netflix joins the fray at the end of the month. So why the delay?
“While both services are up and running in our offices on the Boxee Box, we need some more time to test each application to make sure they are ready for launch,” Ronen explained.
