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

  • Abstract:  Först och främst vill vi berätta att vi älskar konceptet med Boxee över huvud taget: en mediaspelarmjukvara vars mål är att fungera på så många olika plattformar som möjligt. Och som inte det skulle vara nog kan du nu också köpa en färdig hårdvarubox, ...

  • Tastatur på fjernkontrollen, Smarte apper, TV-On-demand
  • Feilaktig identifisering av titler
  • Boxee Box er meget bra på å spille av dine filmer, din musikk og å vise dine bilder som blir presentert på en delikat måte. Men det som stikker seg ut er at den henter inn og pakker om media fra nettet og gjør det lett tilgjengelig fra TV-sofaen med d...

  • Liten, tøft og originalt design, svært støysvak, alle nødvendige tilkoblingsmuligheter, spiller så å si alle kjente video og musikkformater, integrering med Twitter og Facebook og andre sosiale tjenester, qwerty-tastatur på fjernkontrollen, pent og fun...
  • Litt for høy pris, lang oppstartstid, mangler norsk tastatur, dårlig videokvalitet på mange av appene, dårlig kvalitet på filmtjenesten (MUBI), for lite eksternt innhold (film, musikk) ...
  • Problemet med Boxee Box er ikke hva den gjør, problemer er det den ikke gjør.Den spiller mer eller mindre alt av videoer og musikkfiler, har stort sett rask menynavigering og bra fjernkontroll, er støysvak, og tar nesten ikke plass på eller i TV-benke...

  • Boxee Box scorer måske ikke så meget, fordi ydelsen måske ikke er helt på højde med de fleste andre. Til gengæld er det en medieafspiller med ubegrænsede muligheder, lidt nørdet med fokus på internettet...

  • Anderledes design, Afspiller 99 % af alle moderne mediefiler, Simpel fjernbetjening med QWERTY tastatur, Indbygget Wi-Fi, HDMI kabel inkluderet,
  • En højere pris end mange konkurrenter, Tænd/sluk knappen virker meget billig, Ingen Netflix eller Pandora service i Danmark
  • Mediesteamere er ikke noget nyt. Der har været mange forskellige bud på den bedste mediesteamer i lang tid. Mediesteamere er enheder, som ligeså stille tager over, hvor VHS-, DVD- og BluRay-afspillerne havde deres kampe i stuerne. I stedet for, at bruge e...
