We hoped Boxee would surprise us at the eleventh hour and announce it
had finally added Netflix to the service -- technically making good on
its end of January deadline. Instead, the company's blog is now
reporting that the service is "anticipated soon." Apparently, the
service is running fine on the device in the company's offices --
which, mind you they said back in December too, -- but it still failed
to satisfy Netflix's security requirements. While that sounds like a
big thing to miss in our books, a comment by Boxee's VP of Marketing,
Andrew Kippen, suggests the company just discovered the issue only an
hour before midnight. This marks the second time users have been asked
to re-adjust their expectations for when the big red box might pop up
on their favorite media manager, but to Boxee's credit, we were glad
to see the company come right out with the situation instead of
leaving us all on pins and needles. Now, let's just hope this whole
incident gets sorted out pronto, so we don't have to break bad news to
our Watch Instantly lovin' hearts ever again.
