A whitelist would make sense, but it definitely wasn't that way a while back. The PS3, Boxee on Apple TV and others were all reporting pretty odd user agents and flash versions that I doubt they had whitelisted. Only once they realized people were *gasp* watching TV shows on their TV did they start cracking down, blocking them based on blacklists. Boxee played a cat and mouse game for a while, until it just became too unusable on the Apple TV.

I think Boxee is still playing the game, but IMO the experience you get, with the workaround they're forced to use, isn't worth it.

I still freaking LOVE Boxee, though. Can't wait for them to even announce when the Box is going to be out...
