It gives you access to the internet for general surfing on your TV as well as access to both free and premium TV and movie sites. And while it currently does not support Netflix or Hulu, that is coming soon.ĭ-Link has done a great job in delivering a finished product with the Boxee Box. There is also a great variety of TV shows and movies.
It gave you access to the internet for features such as email, weather, and just general web surfing. I really liked how you had the simple play/pause, menu, and navigation buttons on the front, and the keyboard on the back. Navigation thru pages and typing in searches was simple using the well designed remote control. So how did it all come together? The image and sound quality from the Boxee Box was very good, and very HD looking. You would access these files through the Files category. Netflix is scheduled to be supported in a month. There are also apps for sites like YouTube. Here is where you would go for activities such as checking email, weather, and Facebook. The applications give you access to other activities. Movies also range from Hollywood blockbusters to B rated as well. Shows are TV shows, both current and old, and range from Prime Time shows to B rated online shows. Watch Later is pretty self explanatory - tag shows to watch later. Now, video posts from my Facebook friends can be watched here. They include Friends, Watch Later, Shows, Movies, Apps, and Files. Once it was set-up, it was time to start surfing.įrom the Home screen, the Boxee Box is set-up with different categories. The Boxee Box walked me through that with ease. After typing in my password, it was time to configure the display. It autom atica lly found my wi reless network. So while it adds a lot of functionality to your TV, you will need a newer TV with an HDMI input to take advantage of it. So as far as video goes, it hooks up to your TV through the HDMA TV only. On the side is an SD card slot for your personal files. On the back are parts for HDMI, optical, composite audio, and a pair of USB inputs. It has an elegant looking glass black finish, and the green Boxee Box logo glows through the front when it is powered on. It measures roughly five inches by five inches by five inches. And it does so in HD 1080p and Dolby Surround Sound.įrom a hardware standpoint, it is small and cube-like in shape. It helps to bring the entertainment found on the internet to your fingertips. Thanks in part to Intel Atom processor built-in, the Boxee Box can do it all. What is the Boxee Box? To make it simple, it is basically on multimedia internet hub. Thanks to the Boxee Box by D-Link, you can get all that functionality from your current TV. But now you don't have to buy a new TV for that functionality. But now your TV can tell you what the weather is, check your stocks, and even check email.
