Measuring 4.6 by 4.5 by 4.5 inches (HWD), it's glossy black plastic, with a neon lime green rubber underside. ![]() Unlikely to blend with your home theater components like the Apple TV or the Logitech Revue, the Boxee Box is shaped like, well, a square box, sitting on an angle, with some corners cut away to create the appearance that the cube is embedded in whatever surface it sits upon. It took a full year for the Boxee Box by D-Link to morph from an exciting concept to in-store product, and in that time, we've become familiar with its unique design. We will revisit the Boxee Box rating once Hulu Plus is added. Since our review, Boxee has added support for Netflix and Vudu. It's saved, however, by a quality user interface and robust file support-ideal for those who, um, "find" free movies on the Web.Įditor's Note (): One of our major complaints with the Boxee Box was that key content including Netflix, Vudu, and Hulu Plus, all which were promised at launch, weren't available when the box went on sale. But it was hobbled at launch by a lack of some video service apps that the company claims are on the way. The box is based on the free Internet-based Boxee service, which rounds up videos from the Web and puts them in an easy-to-search user interface on your HDTV. Along with the Roku XDS ($99, 2.5 stars) and the Sony Internet TV Blu-ray Disc Player ($399, 4 stars), these are the Boxee Box's chief media hub competitors, each offering a unique take on the Wi-Fi-connected set-top box.
