One downside to the remote doesn’t have backlighting, this means the battery (included) will last longer, but use in the dark is very difficult.
APPS FOR BOXEE BOX FULL
Not many people are comfortable with having a full sized keyboard in the lounge room, so this is a good substitute. Wether it be entering search terms, Wi-Fi passwords, or logging into websites, Boxee’s qwerty keyboard on the back of the remote is a great solution to the problem. Text input is becoming an ever increasing problem for connected devices.
APPS FOR BOXEE BOX TV
It’s like someone at Boxee took a look at an Apple TV remote, then improved it. Remote Small, thin and light, the Boxee Box remote is simple and stylish. During testing of both Wi-Fi N and the Ethernet over power, results were similar, this will vary from setup to setup, like if your in a two story house or live in a mansion. The D-link kit is good for up to 200Mb/s so HD streams are fine.
Using the copper electricity circuit in your house to push around local media and internet is easy and smart. Adapter 2 gets plugged into power near your Boxee box, then add another Ethernet cable between the two to complete the wired connection. Setup is incredibly simple, plug one end into a power point near your router, then connect an Ethernet cable between your router and Adapter 1. Another nice addition is the inclusion of a D-Link Ethernet over power starter kit, while Boxee comes with 802.11N Wi-Fi built in, this lets you get wired internet to Boxee anywhere in your house. The side contains an SD slot, so pop a card out of your camera, slide it into Boxee and watch a photos slideshow on your TV.Īs well as the Boxee Box, you’ll also get a HDMI cable included, props to Boxee, this is rare. On the back Boxee has some pretty simple connections, power, HDMI, Ethernet, 2xUSB ports, optical and stereo audio out. It’s the little things that make the difference. The front face of Boxee shows an illuminated Boxee logo when powered on, which conveniently dims when watching a movie. Still it does provide a unique visual element to the device, designed to initiate conversation. To be honest its a square box and the rest of your set-top boxes are rectangular, so you’d be unlikely to place anything on top anyway. The cube is sliced on an angle at its base, this means nothing will stack on top. While I normally hide devices away, behind tinted glass doors, Boxee Box demands to be seen. Given some low-line entertainment units have glass tops, this is appreciated. The bright green base is rubberised so it doesn’t scratch the surface its placed on. The hardware is well built, D-link have done a great job, while small, the Boxee box actually is decently weighted, giving a solid feel.
