I did not perform a direct hands-on review of the Boxee Box, but I did download the Boxee software to my Mac to explore the interface. So, it's your choice: Buy the Boxee Box for $199.99 or load the free software onto your own device and then connect said device to your A/V system. As the name suggests, the Boxee Box takes the same platform and puts it in a freestanding box that can sit in your equipment rack.

In fact, it's still available as a free software platform that you can download and install on a PC, a Mac, or even an iPad. The Boxee interface actually existed before the Box. The user interface is really the key to a system like this, and D-Link has developed a smart, generally intuitive system for browsing and accessing local and Web content. The Boxee Box is also a hub for your own digital media: It can access the music, photos, and videos on your networked computers, as well as files stored on USB drives or SD cards. Search D-Link's robust App Store, and you'll find plenty of content choices to suit a variety of interests. The Boxee Box helps you find and play Web content-be it from pay providers like Netflix and VUDU (with Hulu Plus coming soon) or from free services like YouTube, Pandora, last.fm, Picasa, and Flickr.
