All other connections are on the back side and I really like the options that Boxee provides. Starting off, you have an HDMI port which will be the primary source of connection to your TV for almost everyone.

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

The recent revamp of the £99 Apple TV looked like the perfect media-streaming device – except Apple unforgivably forgot to permit enough content into its walled garden to make its box of delights worthwhile.

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
