With all the new Internet TV boxes and services sprouting this holiday season—from Google TV and Apple TV to the Boxee Box, Shufflr, and beyond—there is a lot talk about people cutting their cable cords and just getting all of their TV from the Internet. That is not going to happen anytime soon until the [...]
Short Version The Boxee Box is here. I unboxed the device yesterday and have spent pretty much every moment since poking around and I’m impressed. It’s not the mind-blowing experience you get from the desktop app, but the dead-simple setup compounded with the clever dual-sided remote makes for a superb user experience. It’s still Boxee at the [...]
The Boxee Box is tiny. Most of the Internet knows that. But when compared directly to standard A/V devices, its tiny stature really sinks in. (ha) It has about the same footprint as a new Roku or Apple TV, but the sinking box design makes the actual space it takes up a bit larger. Still, [...]

Lest you forget, the Boxee Box is a capital C computer, just like Google TV. In fact, both products share nearly identical processors, with the Intel CE4110 in Boxee and the CE4150 in Google TV, each clocked at 1.2GHz. Turns out, much of the mass of the Boxee Box is used for the heat sink [...]
The Boxee Box by D-Link is shipping, and it’s played right into iFixit‘s destructive hands. Inside it’s an admirable mixture of easily-unscrewed components and a vast heatsink keeping Intel’s Atom CE4110 SoC cool. Interestingly – though unsurprisingly – several of the components are shared between the Boxee Box and Logitech’s Revue Google TV STB. That [...]
Video streaming being blocked seems to be the theme recently and after the problems that Google TV units are facing, reports are in that users who are attempting to access video streaming from Hulu have been greeted with an error message claiming that they’re trying to access the service from Boxee, and you can bet [...]
Some big news out of the Boxee Box launch event just now: Netflix and Hulu Plus are both coming to the asymmetric streamer. There’s no timeline on Hulu Plus — Boxee told us talks have just begun — but Netflix should be live by the year, and that’s a major requirement if Boxee is going [...]
TV is coming to the Web and there is nothing that can stop it. Just ask Avner Ronen, the CEO of Web TV startup Boxee. Later tonight, he will announce the general availability of his Boxee Box, a small device you hook up to your TV and the Internet so you can watch video from [...]
Boxee finally have an official release date for their Boxee Box by D-Link, with the media streaming cube shipping on November 10, 2010 to customers who pre-order it through Amazon in the US or Best Buy and Future Shop in Canada, and then November 17 through D-Link’s normal distributors. Street price is estimated at $ 199 [...]
