The much-anticipated Boxee Beta has now officially come out. It is available for Mac, Windows, and Ubuntu.

"In the past 4 weeks since we announced the upcoming Beta we had the help of tens of thousands of early access users who tested the Beta on all different platforms and gave us great feedback," says Boxee’s Avner Ronen. "Hundreds of bugs have been opened and we’ve been working diligently to resolve as many of them as we could. We feel the version deserves the upgrade from Alpha grade to Beta grade, and we’re going to spend the next year improving it, so we can release 1.0 at CES next year."

Along with the beta release, Boxee has announced some new content partners:

- TV.com
- Blip.tv
- IGN

Boxee is also showing off the details of its Boxee Box at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. You can read about the remote, and the Box’s internals here and here respectively.
