<a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/boxee/">boxee</a> took full advantage of its space at <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/CES/">CES</a> this year, and according to a recent post on its blog, it fielded quite a few inquiries from other companies about crafting a boxee-branded set-top-box. Currently, the only way to get boxee running is to install it on your TV-connected PC or inelegantly onto an Apple TV. A number of companies approached boxee asking for its thoughts on embedding the application into "existing or future products," so the cats at boxee are coming right out and soliciting your opinion on the matter. boxee does caution that getting it baked into a device would take "a long time," but it certainly seems like that ball is rolling. So, what say you? Would you snap one up? Or would you balk at the notion of adding yet another <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/set-top-box/">STB</a> underneath your television?<br /><br />[Thanks, cros13]<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/hdtv/" rel="tag">HDTV</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/homeentertainment/" rel="tag">Home Entertainment</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/boxee-mulls-production-of-its-own-set-top-box/">boxee mulls production of its own set-top-box</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 22 Jan 2009 08:33:00 EST.
