How clever of Boxee to use both sides of the remote-why isn't that the norm? One side is a QWERTY keyboard with numbers, symbols, and arrow navigation, while the other has a Play/Pause button, four directional navigation buttons with Enter in the middle, and a Settings/Menu button that doubles as the Power control when held down long enough. The unit ships with a power adapter and an HDMI cable-another thoughtful inclusion lacking in most of the competition's packages.Īlso included is the essential-and at first, seemingly excellent-remote control. When the unit is powered up, the Boxee Box by D-Link logo lights and appears behind the surface of the front-facing panel. There is also an SD/SDHC memory card slot on the right-hand panel for cards up to 32GB. The back panel houses a modest but useful set of connections-HDMI, Ethernet, two USB ports, Optical (S/PDIF) out, and analog stereo RCA outputs-a notable inclusion for those with analog stereo receivers (and one that is woefully absent on the Apple TV and Google TV products).

It's saved, however, by a quality user interface and robust file support-ideal for those who, um, "find" free movies on the Web.Įditor's Note (): One of our major complaints with the Boxee Box was that key content including Netflix, Vudu, and Hulu Plus, all which were promised at launch, weren't available when the box went on sale. But it was hobbled at launch by a lack of some video service apps that the company claims are on the way. The box is based on the free Internet-based Boxee service, which rounds up videos from the Web and puts them in an easy-to-search user interface on your HDTV. Along with the Roku XDS ($99, 2.5 stars) and the Sony Internet TV Blu-ray Disc Player ($399, 4 stars), these are the Boxee Box's chief media hub competitors, each offering a unique take on the Wi-Fi-connected set-top box.
