It was reported this morning that the latest AppleTV update FUBAR’d Boxee, but that’s not true, says Boxee.
Each firmware update from Apple will normally erase non-Apple menu items from AppleTV.
Boxee users simply need to re-apply the patchstick to add the menu item back. Additionally boxee software and data persists so after the patchstick has be applied, user logins, media sources, preferences, etc. will be just as they were before the upgrade.
Calm down and carry on,

I had Boxee installed on my AppleTV, but removed
it. They have 3 software installs and one of them
makes my Apple tv menu come up blank. You see
the outline of the menu, but nothing inside and the
only way to get it back, is by doing an Apple TV re-install; that erases all of your movies you paid for and Apple won’t re-download them to you.
It’s nice, but something I can live without. Play it safe and install boxee on your computer.

who cares what word you use; words are meant to be tools for communication not opportunities for faux exclusivity.
