Good build quality; Great remote; Lots of features;
Glitchy and fiddly; Most compelling services not available in Australia;
To the tech-savvy uber geek, the Boxee Box is one of the best media players on the market today. It’s powerful, well-made, has a great remote and piles and piles of features. Sure, you can’t integrate it into a media rack thanks to its rather self-con...
Near universal video codec support. Supports 1080p. Unique design. Well-built remote control. Aggressive in hunting down local content. Wide variety of web content. Good UI. Constantly updated
You could always build a Boxee system yourself. Not all international content is actually available. Notable pause before playing back any file. Unusual shape won't fit in many AV cabinets. Premium price for media streaming ease of use
The Boxee Box is a premium-priced proposition best suited for those who want an easy out-of-the-box Boxee experience....

Fantastic online services; great user interface; decent remote control; option to add local storage
Not many movies yet; minor bugs, like sites not showing full-screen video
The Boxee Box by D-Link is a great compromise if you already have plenty of content stored on hard disk and want to easily show it on your television, with the added benefit of a slick interface and internet content that's totally free
With the best parts of this media player hobbled and a poor experience with those parts that do work, we really can't recommend the Boxee Box. However, US reviewers claim recent firmware updates on hardware configured for use in North America have made...
As a player for local media, Boxee excels – but so it should, for £200, when there are products that can do as well for half the price. For UK users, the IP TV functionality really isn’t good or broad enough to justify the extra price. ® More AV Gear ...
