The editors didn't like

  • No Netflix
  • No Hulu
  • Can't pause some videos and resuming previously viewed video doesn't always work
  • Doesn't save place in video
  • 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
  • Many key features—Netflix
  • Hulu Plus
  • Vudu—aren't fully available at launch. Remote is awkwardly designed. Set-up requires multiple firmware updates
  • Installations
  • Reboots.
  • Quirky interface. Some TV shows appear in the menu
  • But won't actually play. Much of the web's video actually looks really terrible when blown up on a big HDTV
  • You aren’t able to purchase or store movies and TV shows on your Boxee.
  • Keyboard remote not backlit
  • Netflix
  • Vudu
  • And Hulu Plus not yet available
  • Streaming content from PCs a chore
  • Must manually enlarge most free videos in browser
  • Integrated browser can't deliver desktop experience
  • Somewhat buggy and crash-prone at launch
  • Premium services not available at launch
  • Some sites are blocking video content
  • 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.
  • Bottom Line
  • The stylish Boxee Box by D-Link does a great job of making video from diverse sources accessible
  • And will be even greater when bugs are fixed and new content deals signed.
  • So much content is blocked that Boxee is limited and can't find any show you want
  • I.e
  • There is no Hulu
  • 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
  • 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)
  • Not enough content at launchGlitchyRemote lacks trackpad
  • There needs to be more varied content with better quality programmes
  • Design doesn't fit standard home theater aesthetic

  • De Boxee Box is een mediaspeler met goede prestaties, soepele navigatie en veel uitbreidingsmogelijkheden. Helaas kampt hij nog met een aantal kinderziekten en is niet zomaar geschikt voor álle consumenten. Gebruikers die de Engelse taal niet goed genoeg

  • ondersteunt veel bestanden; goed ontworpen interface; handige zoekfunctie,
  • ontwerp van afstandsbediening onhandig; firmwareupdates bij eerste keer opstarten.
  • Het heeft een jaar geduurd om de Boxee Box van interessant concept om te vormen tot een winkelproduct, en intussen kennen we het unieke ontwerp. Het zal niet makkelijk zijn om deze vierkanten doos niet te doen opvallen in je interieur. Door zijn weggesned...

  • Tangentbords-fjärren, Smarta appar, Playkanaler
  • Felaktig identifiering av titlar
  • Boxee Box är mycket bra på att spela upp dina filmer, din musik och visa dina bilder och de presenteras på ett aptitligt sätt. Men det som sticker ut är att den hämtar in och paketerar om media från nätet och gör den lätt att konsumera från TV-soffan med...

  • Abstract:  Mediaspelaren Boxee Box var en stor snackis under hela 2010. Och när den landade i butikerna i slutet av året var hypen på topp och många handlare sålde slut på sina exemplar. Vilket också innebar att det också var lite problem att få fram ett teste...

  • Abstract:  De senaste åren har intresset för olika typer av mediaspelare ökat enormt. Folk har börjat tröttna på att ständigt behöva stoppa i en skiva för att spela upp innehåll och väljer istället att lagra dessa i filbibliotek på externa hårddiskar eller någon ...
