Samsung Electronics, the world’s largest television maker, acquired Boxee, a New York-based start-up whose set-top box can record broadcasts and stream online video. Terms weren’t disclosed. Boxee makes video streaming applications for phones and tablets based on Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS operating systems, in addition to the software that powers its connected TV box. Samsung said closely held Boxee can help it develop Internet-enabled devices.
