The editors didn't like
Geographic location limits the amount of online content that can be viewed
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
Glitchy and fiddly
Most compelling services not available in Australia
Inexpensive for its capabilities, Beuatiful user interface, Netflix and Vudu HDX streaming, Lots of connectivity options: USB, SD Flash Card slot etc, Full 1080p capable, Regular updates, enhancements, maintenance, Solid local media streaming interface, M
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)
The Boxee Box is pretty much the best implementation we've seen yet on the whole notion of Internet TV, Movies and other content served from the cloud and connected via socialization features. On the content delivery side of things, though the experience...
High quality 1080p resolution, Vudu 3D streaming movies, Ability to find unique content: Get suggestions of online videos or a list of popular videos, and see what videos your Facebook and Twitter friends are watching, Ability to find the TV show or movie you want without searching through multiple websites to find it, Qwerty remote to type in search terms, logins, and comments, Well organized me
So much content is blocked that Boxee is limited and can't find any show you want; i.e, there is no Hulu, Netflix, 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
HDMI input, Wireless works nicely, Love the remote (even with its quirks), Tons of apps to keep you busy, Watch Later allows you to create a playlist from the web, Netflix & Hulu Plus coming soon
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
The Boxee Box has gotten a lot of flack for its initial performance. However, we see a ton of potential. It's got a nice interface, a super remote, and a ton of apps to keep you from getting cranky. Adding VUDU kicked our review up at least half a sta...
Abstract: Digital media hubs have almost invariably fallen into two camps: the polished, commercial but limited universe of a device like the Apple TV or else the free-wheeling and flexible, but often bootleg-focused, hubs such as the Popcorn Hour. Boxee in it...
Excellent remote, Iconic design, Easy filtering and discovery of web TV and movies, 1080p video with Dolby and DTS audio, Very broad format and media sharing support, Thirdparty apps, SD card slot and USB ports, Boxee remote app, Hulu, Netflix, Vudu coming,
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.
Boxee comes across as a plucky startup eager to get Internet TV 'right' and to bring fresh thinking to a category where even Apple at times is conservative. In many ways, Boxee achieves what it set out to do. Along with a pleasing overall look, it has ...
Abstract: Page 1 of 2 Since the debut of Boxee Box in November, D-Link's Internet-to-TV set-top box has gotten its share of negative coverage. The CRN Test Center received its first review unit this week after Boxee revealed at CES 2011 that it had shored up its...
As a piece of hardware, I love the fact that I can run giant Blu-ray rips through the box without any problems. However, I can do the same on other set-top boxes that are more than half the price. If order to differentiate itself, it needs to provid...
Abstract: How does the long awaited Boxee Box compare to the Logitech Revue? Boxee’s killer when it comes to media viewing. File Sources are one of several areas you’ll find within the Boxee Box’s Settings. The options here aren’t expansive, but for a device th...
