Excellent codec supportGreat remoteSolid Flash video playback
Unique styling; massive potential; Access to Internet services
Networking is very unreliable; Local content is sidelined for Internet video; Annoying remote; BBC iPlayer is a little disappointing; confusing user interface
The D-Link Boxee Box media streamer has major networking problems and, although we've been promised a solution in new firmware, we can't comment on this until the company releases the update....
It supports tons of file formats and has access to hundreds of online services, but playback can stall and a couple of bugs prevent it from getting top marks. ...
We approached the Boxee Box with some trepidation. To start with it took us some time to work out what it is actually called but having read the available literature, set the device up and given it a good shake we came to the realisation that the softw...
Very good HD playback, with the filters correctly set up, Boxee Media Manager app is easy to set up, Unique design, Remote has a complete keypad on one side, Remote control apps for iOS and Android
A couple of filters make video noisy, if turned on, UI feels dated, You get a WD Live Hub with a 1TB drive for slightly less cash, Quite a few apps don�t work in India

Good performance; Fast and nice interface; Plays most formats; Great online media features; Built-in Wi-Fi; RF QWERTY remote for internet use.
Requires internet for first time use and registration; Remote has almost no media buttons except Play Pause; Takes a minute to start up; Not easy to setup and use for novice; No composite or component connectivity; Bulky and heavy.
So, at Rs.13,999, does the Boxee Box warrant a rush to your nearest hardware store? Not really. It’s a bit expensive for what is essentially an HD media player without any built-in storage. Where the Boxee Box really shines though, is in the software d...
Boxing DayHaving come this far with D-Link's Boxee, we have to admit that the media cube left us with mixed feelings. It isn't simply a media tank with basic playback facilities. Fundamentally, it enables you to stream, surf, view and listen to a broad ra...
