Well that certainly didn't last long. This morning media center application Boxee launched a new build that has an integrated RSS reader that lets you watch online videos tied to an RSS feed.

A few weeks ago media center Boxee was forced to remove content from Hulu, and the request of some of the TV and film studios that produce the bulk of the content available on Hulu.

There are plenty of media center suites designed to let you access photos, videos, and music stored on your PC or the web using a TV screen and remote control.
