Within a week however, a workaround was found, using public RSS feeds. Hulu crushed that "hack" however, by blocking all Boxee users from accessing any Hulu RSS feeds.
Boxee today has updated its alpha stage software and with it comes another hack in the company's ongoing battle with Hulu. The new XUL-based browser mimics Firefox "and makes it harder for Hulu to block access to Boxee users by preventing a simple ban; any block of Boxee's video feed would block Hulu's as well."
Additionally, Boxee has added Pandora internet radio and content from PBS as well as a new feature, RadioTime, which adds instant access to thousands of terrestrial radio stations.
