1. The Boxee Box – After
Initial Hiccups It Is A
Great Device
By Jim
This is an end user review of the Boxee Box by D-Link HD Streaming Media Player
I've been anxiously awaiting the release of the Boxee Box so that I can finally cut
the cord on my cable, and save myself over $100 a month. I've been using the
Boxee beta software on my laptop through my TV for a couple months, and have
been really happy with it. I wanted a dedicated box so I don't have to plug in my
laptop every time I want to watch TV, and the Boxee Box seemed like the best bet
out there in terms of price point balanced with functionality.
I got my Boxee Box on 11/12/10, and after a few days of frustrating trouble
shooting, I have it set up and it is working great.
There are definitely some initial software bugs, but the development team is
working furiously to address them. The company CEO and another developer have
been personally responding to my e-mails very quickly. In addition, there is a very
active community forum and this helped me to fix the problems I have been
having.
Now that the Box is set up for me, I'm quite pleased with it. I stream over a
Wireless G router from my desktop computer, where I have a large and variably
encoded selection of media--so far everything plays perfectly.
I was initially having trouble streaming web-page based video, but after fixing my
network settings it is now working great for me--TV shows like The Daily Show,
The Office, 30 Rock, Family Guy load up quickly and play great--better than they
did on my desktop setup with Boxee.
There are lots of complaints out there about buggy 1.0 version software, people

2. unhappy with the design changes of the 1.0 firmware, and I agree with many of the
concerns. The Boxee team have been working furiously since release to fix a lot of
the bugs and address many of the users' concerns. The CEO Avner Ronen responds
personally to e-mails and he is clearly very dedicated to tailoring the software
interface to what people are looking for. I have been very impressed with them so
far, and I am obviously hoping that the fixes they will be releasing soon will
address a lot of the concerns.
The only big drawback right now is the lack of Vudu (and Hulu+ if you care about
that). Support for these are supposedly coming very soon ('by the end of the year').
If so, this Box will be exactly what I have been looking for.
I think this Box is great for people who are looking for a very versatile solution to
streaming a wide variety of local and web-based media to their TV. In that
category it clearly beats the AppleTV and
most of the other competitors out there. I
haven't played with GoogleTV yet, but
for the time being Boxee beats them on
price at least. Setting up the Boxee Box
however does required a fair bit of
technical know-how--and for the moment
patience--which would be a limitation to it's wide-spread popularity. However
hopefully once the team gets over some of the initial bugs, they will make the
setup-up more streamlined and user friendly. Then I think it will really be an
AppleTV/GoogleTV killer.
What Other Users Are Saying About The Boxee Box In
Their Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars: Worth it
…The reason I am giving this 5 starts is two-fold.
1) It does what it says it does. And does it well. The local content streams HD video beautifully and
without the hassle of plugging my laptop into my tv just to watch a show or movie. The apps also work
well, especially TED, Pandora and Vice. Cannot wait for Netflix though.

3. 2) The reception to user feedback has been incredible. Each and every complaint is getting individual
attention; and not just for bugs. For instance, people have complained it takes to many click to get to
local content. So now, an update will give users the option of featuring their local content.

5.0 out of 5 stars: Gets better every day I've owned it.
…The first day I had the Boxee box I was very happy to have a new device to play my movies, tv shows,
music, and view my photos. I'm moving to the Boxee from a custom atom powered Ion net top running
XBMC. I had to be a giant nerd to use the XBMC on that computer. The Boxee box is braindead simple to
setup, use, and maintain.
I started by adding my network shares (nerdy part). After leaving Boxee to scan my shares I was very
happy to see all my tv episodes were labeled and the movies had their posters.
I'm very happy with the Boxee box, the only shortcoming is that I couldn't play a 1080p video over my
Gigiabit network. Hopefully future software releases fix this.

5.0 out of 5 stars: Boxee is Awesome
I love the Boxee Box.
It's a little tricky to set up at first (They are working on making it easier),
but once it's set up it works and plays moives, TV, Music, etc flawlessly.
Boxee is a great way to make your television more social.

5.0 out of 5 stars: AMAZING Product
As a user who download a lot of MKV files in 1080p but also likes to slip in a good bit of NetFlix as well
this thing is awesome. I've got a 2TB drive hooked up to it and it's playing everything I toss at it without a
problem (mostly 1080/720p mkv files, but also a few AVI files). It also plays Netflix and HBOGO just fine. I
couldn't be happier.
They recently added Spotify, which has just been the cherry on top of this experience. 5 Star.
