Boxee fans have been installing the media centre software on their computers for years, but newcomers snapping up a Boxee Box have been getting special treatment: namely, Boxee’s awesome remote. We raved about it in our Boxee Box review, but now it’s going on sale separately, so Mac and PC home theatre buffs can get a slice of the QWERTY-backed action.
The Boxee Box is the media centre software maker’s first ever set top box, made in partnership with computer hardware giant D-Link. Priced at £199.99, this strangely shaped media streamer packs Wi-Fi, Ethernet, HDMI, USB and SD card slots, and will support just about every video codec under the sun.
