Boxee, a New York based startup that develops media center software for Macs and Linux boxes, has now announced that their latest software release will include:

  • Access to Netflix’s (NFLX) “watch instantly” library of 12,000 movies/TV shows. (If you’re a Netflix subscriber. Won’t work with Apple TV; Boxee says it’s not powerful enough to run Microsoft’s Silverlight plugin.)
  • Access to WB shows.
  • Access to MTVMusic, MTV’s new music video site.
  • Better user interfaces for its Hulu and YouTube sections.

Boxee has also been successful in raising $4 million in first round of funding back in November from Spark Capital and Union Square Ventures.
