Boxee to Unveil Set-Top Box on Dec. 7

Boxee has signed a deal with an unnamed manufacturer to produce a set-top box compatible with its service, the company has said. The device will have its public debut (in mockup form, at least) at a December 7 meetup in NYC. Boxee says it would also reveal more details on the set-top unit at that time.

The deal has been in the works since the 2009 CES, according to CEO Avner Ronen. Ronen disclosed in a blog post that during the show, Boxee met with several manufacturers interested in integrating the Boxee service into an existing set-top box or completely new unit.

Technologizer will be at the Boxee meetup next month, so stay tuned…
