Boxee Scores $16.5M Investment 77
DeviceGuru writes "Boxee, maker of the free Boxee multimedia-player software platform for PCs and Macs, and the smarts behind D-Link's recently introduced Boxee Box, has just received $16.5 million more funding. Following several significant firmware updates and the addition of new apps for Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, and other content sources, all pushed automatically out to users' devices, the $199 D-Link Boxee Box is finally stating to feel more like a finished product than a beta-test device. What's next for Boxee? The D-Link device will soon be joined by two more Boxee-powered devices: a Boxee NAS device from Iomega and a ViewSonic TV running Boxee, and one of the main uses of the company's new funding will be to 'sign up more device and distribution partners,' says Boxee CEO Avner Ronen."

Yeah, it sure is awful trying to hook up blu-ray players, video game consoles, and these new-fangled internet devices to my 1982 Zenith television.
Luckily, Amazon still sells those 75-to-300 ohm adapters with the forks on the end that you have to screw down.

Careful mate, returning a Boxee Box on Boxing Day is one step away from creating a linguistic tesseract.
