More HD and 5.1 surround sound content are coming to Boxee via RoxioNow thanks to Boxee’s new partnership with Sonic Solutions. RoxioNow also powers Best Buy’s CinemaNow and Blockbuster On Demand to name a few. Boxee users can expect a RoxioNow app for Boxee to be available in the upcoming months on all of Boxee’s platforms.
From Boxee’s announcement on their blog:
This alliance with Sonic will enable us to partner with some of the best known content providers and deliver more premium content on Boxee over the coming months. As users, we’re huge believers in the power of choice – we want you to be able to use any web service you’d like on Boxee to view content and this partnership opens a big door to making that possible. RoxioNow serves a broad range of premium content to a growing ecosystem of home and mobile devices including PCs, connected TVs, set-top DVRs, Blu-ray Disc players, smartphones, and mobile devices.
This is great news for Boxee and its users indeed. Let’s be honest.. aside from the Netflix app and content provider web sites, Boxee doesn’t have much in terms of premium, quality content. It’s about damn time Boxee gets something besides another viral video, web series or podcast app addition.
