ZeeVee, a web video TV set-top box maker, is changing tracks and now wants to power other boxes like Boxee.
Today’s announcement was about an update to its Zinc browser (formerly known as the ZViewer), which is a graphical interface for watching video content. It’s a lot like, well almost exactly like Boxee in that it tries to aggregate a whole bunch of premium content sources into one location, and optimizes the experience for ten-foot viewing. Zinc strictly uses public RSS feeds, so it believes it can sidestep issues Boxee had like Hulu pulling its content from the service (though using RSS feeds still got Boxee into hot water with Hulu).
