D-Link Boxee Box Review
For over 5 months last year, I used my iMac as my TV while my basement was being remodeled. During that time, I was able to keep up on all my favorite shows using Hulu and ‘other methods'.
Pros:
- Very easy to setup
- 2 USB ports
- SD slot and can stream from other computers wirelessly
- Simple interface
- Lots of internet content
Cons:
- No Netflix
- No Hulu
- Can't pause some videos and resuming previously viewed video doesn't always work
- Doesn't save place in video

D-Link Boxee Box DSM-380
If you have lots of music and video files stored on a computer, one way to play them on your main TV is to use a dedicated media streamer . Another is to attach a laptop to the TV, or to buy a separate ‘home entertainment' computer and have that permanently connected to the TV.

Boxee Box
It's a little strange that the Boxee Box by D-Link feels like a late entrant in this year's crowded smart TV market -- the core Boxee software has been around forever, and the Box itself was announced way back in January at CES.
Pros:
- Excellent codec support
- Great remote
- Solid Flash video playback
Cons:
- Not enough content at launch
- Glitchy
- Remote lacks trackpad

Waste Of Money
Cumbersome interface. Remote control is too small and needs to be backlit in low light. Streaming video which is suppose to be the big draw does not work even on high speed wireless connection. Do not waste your money on this product like I did!
Cons:
- Freezes in Operation

Better than XBox/PS3/MCE
1080p material only plays perfectly on a wired connection and only via UPNP (I run from a Synology). Otherwise the playback will buffer a lot on SMB, NFS. The unit has a light-up Boxee logo on the side that dims during playback.
Pros:
- Plays 1080p MKV's from personal BD collection
- Plays everything I've thrown at it including the goofy BBC interlaced VC1's
- Based on XBMC which is a plus
- Unit is small
- RF remote is nice and work from any orientation
- Screensaver easily changed with SD card
- Has Netflix which works well.
Cons:
- Not exactly intuitive, takes getting used to
- Applications are populated with a lot of stuff I didn't want and had to remove them one at a time
- Doesn't have Hulu
- Integrated browser isn't very useful
- Can't skip ads in YouTube videos
- Remote runs on a watch battery (included)

However, I soon discovered that they had discontinued updates, and as of July 2013, Boxee has been purchased by Samsung and they shut down all their...
