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
  • Mousing often required for Web content

  • Vous l'aurez compris, le media-center de D-Link ne laisse pas indifférent. Il est clair qui si vous envisagiez la Boxee Box pour son aspect « connecté », vous serez probablement déçu. Elle intègre très bien tout ce qui est aspect social, mais en dehors ...

  • Avec la Boxee Box, D-Link réalise un produit séduisant au premier abord par son look original. Une originalité qui, selon nous, nuit un peu au côté fonctionnel du produit. La réactivité et le design de son interface rendent le produit très agréable à ...

  • Qualité de lecture, compatibilité, Architecture technique évolutive, Finition / télécommande / interface, Nombreuses applications via kiosque
  • Pas d'USB en façade / encore des bugs, Prix / Anglais uniquement / ventilateur, Pas d'application de téléchargement ou de FTP
  • À propos du marché français: La Boxee est d'ores et déjà disponible en France au prix généralement constaté de 240 euros (frais de port compris). À l'heure où nous écrivons ces lignes, la commercialisation reste confidentielle, mais cette situation devra...

  • Large compatibilité multimédia, Catalogage et récupération automatique de pochettes, affiches, synopsis, etc, Télécommande RF avec clavier intégré, Nombreuses applications web, évolutives, Récupération automatique des sous-titres des films et séries
  • Jukebox vidéo en anglais, Les services de VOD français sont inexistants, Pas de gestion de fichiers: ni copie, ni suppression, ni renommage
  • Ce boîtier nous a un peu déçu. Le concept est hautement intéressant, les fonctionnalités en matière de jukebox multimédia sont loin devant la concurrence, mais le tout est entaché par des bugs de jeunesse - une étoile en moins - et un absence du frança...
