Boxee Internet TV Hardware Launches Into The Market
Boxee internet tv box launched today
In an ever increasingly crowded internet tv hardware market comes the new Boxee Box by D-Link retailing for $200. The new hardware allows viewers to access online tv, movie streaming and other online services on their tv sets.
The Boxee has received critical acclaim and is capable of playing pretty much any media file formats you can throw at it. It can be hooked up to the home network and shows both free and pay to view TV shows and movies. It can also show photo’s, play music and video from the net as well, and all in glorious 1080p HD with 5.1 surround sound for listening pleasure. The Vudu movie rental service will also be included in the Boxee media center software.
Speaking about the launch, Rod St. Michel, vp of consumer sales D-Link said:- “We’ve seen amazing demand for the Boxee Box across all of our pre-order partners in the US and internationally. Consumers are looking for the right product to get their favorite TV shows and movies onto their TV from the Internet and their home network, and the Boxee Box is the friendliest, and most consumer-ready product currently available.”
The market though is getting congested with everyone from Google TV to Apple To TiVo having a presence in the space. Hulu are pushing their $9.99 per month subscription streaming service, and are putting it on many devices such as the Sony PlayStation 3, Roku, and TiVo boxes. It is unknown if the Hulu Plus service will appear on Boxee at this time.
Boxee have previously had a run in with Hulu after they blocked them from streaming its content. Plus the box will suffer a similar fate to Google TV, who cannot stream popular tv shows from the big 3 networks, NBC, ABC and CBS. It is now clear that the networks want viewers to pay for watching online tv on the big screen, or watch the traditional over the air broadcast.
