This update, which the boxee team classifies as bleeding-edge (which means, if you don't want to deal with any potential bugs, wait for the more stable release scheduled for March 24, 2009) adds the "App Box" -- boxee's version of the App Store, automatic updates, and most excitingly, a new video-optimized RSS reader."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1236522932.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>In addition, you can use the new RSS reader to access the Hulu's public RSS feeds directly from Boxee. If you recall, two weeks ago Boxee was forced to <a href="http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/f386/hulu-boxee-not-after-february-20th-92641.html" target="_blank">remove Hulu</a> from it's service, but the hackers were on top of it and came up with a workaround. That didn't last long though before it was broke, so they fixed it again. And again.</p><p>The process for adding content has gotten easier apparently, and if you are interested in loading up this latest version you can head over to <a href="http://app.boxee.tv/" target="_blank">Boxee</a> for it. I would love to see this on the Apple TV but I'm just not comfortable hacking mine. I may end up doing it soon though if some quality updates don't come through for it from Apple.</p>
