"For Boxee users, we're working behind the scenes to ensure there's minimal impact to your devices. However, the beta Cloud DVR functionality we provided to certain Boxee TV users will be discontinued on July 10th," wrote Boxee on its website.

According to reports, Samsung is paying $30 million for Boxee.

"We're pleased to announce Boxee will be joining Samsung. Joining Samsung means we will be able to work on products that marry the best hardware and software in the TV space, products that will be used by tens of millions of people and will help to shape the future of TV. We believe that over the next few years the video market will change even more than it has in the past few decades," it adds.
