Boxee known from its media center application that's based on the open source XBMC project is developing together with D-Link the Boxee Box media streamer.
|

The Box features an HDMI connector, SD card slot and 2 USB 2.0 ports. Connectivity is handled by ethernet, or WiFi. The remote which is included is an RF one, instead of infrared. Here's a quote from the D-Link anouncement:
The Boxee Box by D-Link takes the same popular software and offers it up as a great device -- the perfect companion to a high definition TV. The Boxee Box by D-Link provides access to more than just traditional TV content. It includes a huge library that spans the Internet, such as university courses, panel discussions, academic lectures, presentations, web-only videos and more from TED, Stanford, FORA.tv, Kid Mango, Next New Networks and more. Boxee also makes it easy for users to add their own favorite entertainment sources with simple RSS or XML feeds available for most online video.
The planning is that the box will released in the second quarter of 2010 for about 135 Euros (about $200 USD). | |
