I have been waiting for the Boxee box as my media centre was noisy, not very power efficient, expensive, drivers problems,...etc.Initially when I heard the price, I thought D-Link are joking and actually decided to buy Western Digital Live HD box but decided to return it after few days as it was extremely limited compared to Boxee. Last week I decided not to waste more time and buy the Boxee box, what a great decision that was. Pros: 1. It plays back every format under the sun. 2. The remote control is genius, and contrary to what one of the reviewers said it DOES have numbers. 3. The online content is fantastic, and contains live data from BBC iPlayer, Youtube, channel 4 & 5, Engadget, TED and loads more. 4. Open architecture allows additional plugins to be developed so...

And I'm absolutely over the moon with it. For a long time I've been using Apple TV (cracked version) to stream movies stored on my NAS box at home, however it wouldnt cope very well with HD files and anything really over 4GB in size.The Boxee Box absolutely nails these to perfection. Initially I was a little skeptical, and sure, it's a fairly high price but in my honest opinion it's worth every penny and I'm very happy with it. For info, I've thrown every media type I can find on my NAS box at this piece of kit and it's played them all without any kicups at all. MKV, M2KV, ISO, AVI, MPEG etc etc etc - the list goes on and on, all played without any stuttering etc. It even plays full HD movies i.e 9GB movie files, which my Apple TV just simply couldnt handle. BTW this Boxee Box is FULL 1080 HD, Apple TV was only 720p - So again Boxee Box wins there. The REAL big test was I...

This review is from: D-Link Boxee Box Digital Media Player (Accessory) I already have two Netgear media players both of which work well for playing files stored on my network but the amount of online content they can play is limited to a some internet radio stations and prerecorded US news sites. So I was keen to find a device that would allow easy access to the wealth of online video and music that I can already access with my computer.I had read about Boxee and so first downloaded the software version, free and available for most operating systems. This almost exactly mimics the interface of the Boxee Box and allows you to try out the apps available and get a feel for the way the Boxee works. The Boxee Box is small in size, shaped like cube of about 6 inches but with a corner removed, and has HDMI, two USB, gigabyte ethernet, optical and analog audio our sockets. It also supports wireless N wifi. There is a recessed and hard to find Off/On switch on the top although the device can be switched on from the remote. The remote is... Read more |
