I'm still trying to make up my mind about the Boxee Box's attractive-but-idiosyncratic industrial design.

Boxee CEO Avner Ronen doesn't know which way his company's luck is going to break as Google enters the television set-top box market.

The video site Hulu does not want people viewing its content on TV sets, so it has used technological means to block Kylo and Boxee users.

Boxee's free software pulls in online video from many sources around the Internet, including CNN. com.

So I'm looking forward to purchasing one of the upcoming devices from Apple, Boxee, Roku or Google.

In addition to a mobile version, the service is planning to release an API as well as a Boxee plugin.

Little Boxee, in other words, will face daunting competition from some pretty formidable rivals.

Even worse, from Boxee's perspective, the Android OS app platform has orders of magnitude more apps than Boxee has.

Here's how I came to understand the power of Boxee.

However, Boxee itself does precisely what Google TV promises to do.

A lot of people might agree with Boxee Box's philosophy, but find it too out-there to give it control of the entire living room.

Boxee Box is the major third-party candidate, a fringe option with some crazy ideas.

Others companies, like Boxee, think they can draw a sizeable audience without having to offer prime-time programming.

Companies such as Apple, Boxee and Roku have offered streaming media players for web video enthusiasts.
