Boxee Box "best of show" at CES 2010

[bolumenxxx]

I need to say that I was very excited to get Boxee Box, but what was my surprise? well If you live in the UK... you are screwed. There is no Netflix or Lovefilm.. making it very poor on content.;( people been trying to work with the company.. but it seems as if they are not interested on getting it.

[ellonysman]

So do I need a tv thing in my computer in order to watch the regular tv shows I normally watch off my shaw tv cable?

[viggiv]

This might be the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.

[ilikecheetos12]

boxee has so much to offer. Open source is great stuff. do some research and find out what boxee is truly capable of. So much more than what comes as the default. This is so much better than google tv, roku, and def apple tv. whether you get boxee on a pc, or the boxee box, its awesome.

[MrQ8center]

i like it and everything .. but why still hulu is not available ? and is Conan O'Brien show available there ? if not can i watched via boxee box browser ?

[natfx7]

What the hell is this? I don't know anything about it but the energy in the comments makes me buy it.

[e4g1e1]

I like how he shakes his head when he, says it can.

[hardnitz74]

@Ray350UTube Not if you don't have one!!

[Daftmusic]

booxxeeeee fucking rooooocckksss

[ballyhome]

will boxee system work on a old tv system

[WhillyHam]

@ballyhome Yes, as long as your TV has HDMI.

Or you need a HDMI - component (3 RCA sockets Red, Blue, Green) or HDMI - composite ( 3 RCA sockets (Yellow, Red, White). Which is HDMI - analog converter. It would be best to have a HD TV though as it outputs in HD.

With the audio it has analog (RCA- Left and Right) output for a sound system or it also outputs optical so it can be sent digitally as well. Hope this helps :D

MY GOD THE DESIGN IS SHIT

[damelos]

[MdxIxbM]

Hi, can you plug your iphone/ipod touch into the USB at the front and play music via that??? Please Reply!!! :)

[fkfelix]

Another cool Israeli product :)! My little but so smart country. Proud. 

[wezzyboi18]

@fkfelix This product is not from israel.

BTW CES is in Las Vegas.

[CharlesLindberghLive]

@fkfelix

Yet, you'll call yourself an American.

[JogBird]

are there emulators for this?

[tweakradje]

This will be the Mediaplayer hit of 2011. It will blow the competition away. Cant wait to get one.

[DutchBoyPim]

@tweakradje What do you mean of 2011? It's already out right?

[noreplyism]

Great review, questions and answers. Thanks for sharing.

[allaboutgamez]

yet another israeli project

[akiextc]

is Google TV going to be better ?

[neolexington]

how much?

[aihuman001]

@neolexington $220 No tegra chip because it couldn't handle hd.264.They're using Intel now.

[stevenalvaradoCR]

@aihuman001 yeah. more powerful

[23azus]

@neolexington

$200 approx.

[ferrariguy25]

Wait... where is the port for the yellow cable... ? I only saw red and white...

[pipeandes]

@ferrariguy25 HDMI only, no digital video out

[WhillyHam]

@ferrariguy25 There's no analog video out only HDMI out, optical audio and analog audio :D

[LeJimster]

Really like the look of that little remote. Sleek design.

[mememe84]

does this have any advantage over XBMC?

[brbubba]

@mememe84 Boxee is built on top of XBMC. The advantage is clearly ease of use, interface and portable hardware platform.

[mariuscosta]

Very good! This is my next buy. :D Fantastic. I am using the Boxee Box on my computer.... VERY VERY VERY GOOD!

[azt3c]

the only video output is HDMI ?

[sehajchawla123]

Boxee is way better. google tv and apple tv are a joke

[M1AUdUsAU]

I like how he's talking about the interface, which might be 'far better' on a full computer. This criticism of his own creation could lead to a well polished device!

[Uzeless]

@M1AUdUsAU He's a coder and probably a little frustrated at getting the software to work on a 'non-PC' box whereas the software works with ease on a powerful PC. I love the way he dug himself out of the hole though.....

[MrMarkBartlett]

@M1AUdUsAU Absolutely.

[M1AUdUsAU]

@M1AUdUsAU sorry guys I was wrong. Seems like the Boxee Box with the GUI changes in version 1.0 of there software is the exact opposite of what I was calling a polished device. I can't believe they did make such drastic changes to the GUI after spending month of beta-testing with the community! This just makes no sense to me. I'm really sad right now.

[Raidermagix]

I talked about this with my friends adn they didn't believe me. Who wouldn't want these...it's so small and cubey and it plays videos!

[MyCrazyLifeStories]

I feel this guy does not like the guy asking him questions lol

[LocoYoFla]

Hulu? I thought Hulu was blocking their content from Boxee?

[lockoutpmp]

Does anyone know when they are releasing the Boxee box?

[LauxHawk]

@lockoutpmp I guess when Nvidia Tegra 2 is released.

[flamaest]

Great video!

[markupRockers]

fingerprinted boxee is fingerprinted.

[innovaciones]

I want this thing now!

[noss81]

i've been running boxee on linux for about a year now, but after seeing this, screw the computer! i'm buying a boxee box!

[nemirn]

Does anyone know if this thing will function as a network attached storage device if I attach a hard drive?

[HD2You]

Not enough power to play 1080p MKV. They should use the Intel CE3100 or 4100 which was the prefect solution to port boxee software.

[Charbax]

@HD2You How do you know Nvidia Tegra2 cannot play high profile? I interviewed some representatives who told me 40mbit/s high profile 1080p MKV is supported. Let's see though after the tests.

[kitsched]

@Charbax I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[gimplar]

So how do you know that it can't play 1080 MKV? Boxee crew will be tweaking the source to be optimized on the ARM processor.

[brbubba]

@HD2You As charbox said, they're claiming full 1080p file playback. I'm assuming that the platform is more than capable, it's just a matter of boxee building in the hardware acceleration.

[BoilerByBlood]

This blows those HDTV-Widget things out of the freakin water.

[DuudeWhatDoesMineSay]

awesome
