Online video platform Boxee has signed a deal with an unknown device manufacturer to produce a “Boxee box” that will stream the site’s content. The company will show a mock-up of the box and reveal more details at its December 7 meet-up in Brooklyn, NY.
Boxee has been working on this deal since the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), CEO Avner Ronen said in a blog post. “During the show we met with several device manufactures interested in embedding Boxee into their existing devices or building a dedicated Boxee device,” he wrote.
Boxee has secured a partnership with a consumer electronics company, but they cannot “say more about the partner or the specs of the device,” Ronen said.
“This will be the first connected device running Boxee, but the idea is to provide consumers with a way to get Boxee in their living rooms, no matter whether it’s on a Connected TV, game console, set-top box, BluRay player, computer, etc,” he continued. “Our goal is to be on every Connected device in the living room.”
