Great product - poorly supported RIP
This should have been the best product on the market, as it played nearly every video and music format that you through at it, including iso and vob. I had mine setup so that it played the variety of media that is stored locally on my home server, for which the product would get summaries and...

Review: DLink Boxee Box
Every day, 3.2 gajigabytes of streaming video are delivered straight to the screens of slackers like you and me, sitting at our desks at work and gawping at classic outtakes from The Muppet Show in 1979 , re-creations of news events by creative Taiwanese animators , and adorably cute animal babies.
Pros:
- Promise of easy-to-access internet video
- Works with a wide range of video services, including Netflix and Vudu
- "Watch later" button lets you time-shift YouTube videos from work to home
Cons:
- Quirky interface
- Some TV shows appear in the menu, but won't actually play
- Much of the web's video actually looks really terrible when blown up on a big HDTV

Good alternative to cable t.v.
Had it for about three weeks. Am liking it more as I'm getting to know where the content is that I like. I use the Boxee Box as a compliment to NetFlix which I get through an application on my Internet-enabled t.v.

I wish I had read the review first before I bought this box. It's nearing the end of 2012 and the same issues still exist from the time CNET made the review. Serious D-Link engineers would've resolved the problems and improved the firmware by now if there was comparable competition.
Pros:
- Cute box and input/outputs
- Remote is passable.
Cons:
- No instructions on the proper use of the remote
- You can't tell if the CAPS button is on or off
- There's no power control on the remote
- The "cursor" buttons on the other side of the QWERTY keys should be replaced by a touch pad, they're a pain to navigate with just like the arrow keys on the other...

The Boxee Box is by no means perfect, but compared to Roku, Apple TV and some of the more DIY options I think it has a place. Well, had a place. Now that it's clear Boxee has a very bad habit of dropping support for their products, it's hard to recommend the original Boxee Box or even the new TV...

Unexpected problem with Boxee Box Player
After viewing the reviews of the product and other similar products on UTube I felt that I had chosen a very good product, Initially the boxee Player installed and connected as expected to the local WIFi and I was able to view internet channels and display videos that I had deposited on Cloudee.

The Boxee Box I received was defective. It was missing the remote control and the Boxee does not work. I will not buy from this seller again.

D-Link Boxee Box review Review
The D-Link Boxee Box media streamer has major networking problems and, although we've been promised a solution in new firmware, we can't comment on this until the company releases the update.
Pros:
- Unique styling
- Massive potential
- Access to Internet services
Cons:
- Networking is very unreliable
- Local content is sidelined for Internet video
- Annoying remote
- BBC iPlayer is a little disappointing
- Confusing user interface

D-Link Boxee Box review
We'll tell you the truth – we were really looking forward to seeing the D-Link Boxee Box. A previous demo we'd seen was definitely favourable, while in terms of style and power we were looking forward to something that could better the recently-revamped Apple TV.

D-Link Boxee Box DSM-380 media streamer
D-Link's Boxee box, also known by the catchy moniker of DSM-380, is aimed at a sector of the market that's quite important in the US – streaming online media – but somewhat less so in the UK right now.
