Boxee Box Review
Feeling stifled by the narrow scope set-top boxes like Apple TV, but not quite ready to start stuffing circuits into a box to build your own home theater PC? D-Link pushes forth an unlikely solution with the funky and curiously geometric Boxee Box, which promises the control and flexibility of a desktop program packed into a standalone box.

- Frequent crashes, glitches
- No video outputs for older TVs
- Still missing Amazon VOD, Hulu Plus
