The Boxee Box, an impressive media streamer
I was looking for a device to get my large movie collection (in a variety of formats) from my computer onto a television. The Boxee Box fit the bill on paper, so I decided to give it a try. The Box is designed to serve two main purposes: to play media from a variety of internet sources (YouTube, Vudu, Pandora), as well as to stream one's local media. As an internet streamer, I found the box to be sufficient enough. The remote has a qwerty keyboard on its opposite side, making it easy to find content online (searching for a video on YouTube, for example). With that said, the main reason I purchased to box was to stream my own content, and the box shines at doing just that. It can handle any format that I've been able to throw at it (and I've thrown a lot). Everything from lossless audio tracks (FLAC) to 8 GB MKV movies played without hiccup over the wireless N connection. Overall, I am very satisfied with the box.
