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
Robust file support. Well-designed user interface. Quality search tool scans attached hard drives, Internet for content you seek. Streams content wirelessly from PCs on same network. Solid digital connectivity, along with analog outputs for audio.
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.

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 ...
Abstract: D-Link's Boxee Box has plenty going for it. It's easy to set up, provides quick and easy access to a wide range of popular TV shows and comes in a neat little package. With support for a wide range of formats, it also works well as a media streamer fo...
