The Boxee Box is still a work in progress, and as a moving target it is difficult to evaluate completely. With that in mind I still cannot help but have mixed feelings about the device. It excels at Internet content aggregation, but fails with what i...
Abstract: Now Boxee has made quite a name for itself in the set top box and streaming content market. After starting out on jailbroken Apple TVs, it eventually reached the point that the company could create and release their own set top box. While it may not h...
Abstract: Video Review: The Boxee from D-Link can do more than just wirelessly stream HD media to any television, thanks to its remote and full QWERTY keyboard. Kevin Pereira and Candace Bailey review the device that allows users to search and stream as much Int...
Near-perfect remote, Unique design, Sleek, intuitive interface, SD card reader and dual USB ports, Wide variety of online content, Plays almost any file
Design doesn't fit standard home theater aesthetic, Mousing often required for Web content, Frequent crashes, glitches, No video outputs for older TVs, Still missing Amazon VOD, Hulu Plus
D-Link’s Boxee Box stands as one of the most ambitious set-top boxes out there, but its glossy front end hides mechanisms still seemingly stuck together with chewing gum and duct tape. ...
Inexpensive for its capabilities, Beuatiful user interface, Netflix and Vudu HDX streaming, Lots of connectivity options: USB, SD Flash Card slot etc, Full 1080p capable, Regular updates, enhancements, maintenance, Solid local media streaming interface, M
No support for HDCP protected content, Remote is rather small/tight to navigate in certain uses, Some applications occasionally need to be re-installed/activated (Pandora)
The Boxee Box is pretty much the best implementation we've seen yet on the whole notion of Internet TV, Movies and other content served from the cloud and connected via socialization features. On the content delivery side of things, though the experience...

So much content is blocked that Boxee is limited and can't find any show you want; i.e, there is no Hulu, Netflix, TNT, ABC, NBC, Fox or Disney content, Doesn't search for specific files in your home network media libraries, 3D streaming requires TV setup each time you use it, Menu system may be confusing to novice users, Boxee Box Menus are Simple Yet Unique, Boxee navigation bar menu, Th
HDMI input, Wireless works nicely, Love the remote (even with its quirks), Tons of apps to keep you busy, Watch Later allows you to create a playlist from the web, Netflix & Hulu Plus coming soon
No dedicated power button or backlighting on remote, Screen refreshing is not so refreshing, Weird form factor is quirky, but hard to place, No internal storage
The Boxee Box has gotten a lot of flack for its initial performance. However, we see a ton of potential. It's got a nice interface, a super remote, and a ton of apps to keep you from getting cranky. Adding VUDU kicked our review up at least half a sta...
Abstract: Digital media hubs have almost invariably fallen into two camps: the polished, commercial but limited universe of a device like the Apple TV or else the free-wheeling and flexible, but often bootleg-focused, hubs such as the Popcorn Hour. Boxee in it...
Excellent remote, Iconic design, Easy filtering and discovery of web TV and movies, 1080p video with Dolby and DTS audio, Very broad format and media sharing support, Thirdparty apps, SD card slot and USB ports, Boxee remote app, Hulu, Netflix, Vudu coming,
Web video sometimes doesn't work properly, Limited range of top tier content, Doesn't play major protected video formats, Expensive for a cloudonly hub, Inconsistent interface at times, Netflix et. al. not yet here.
Boxee comes across as a plucky startup eager to get Internet TV 'right' and to bring fresh thinking to a category where even Apple at times is conservative. In many ways, Boxee achieves what it set out to do. Along with a pleasing overall look, it has ...
