Not Quite ready for Prime Time
01/04/2011
This review is from: D-Link DSM-380 Boxee Box HD Media Player
Pros:
Great using Wireless N. Amazed at limited to no buffering on major sites. QWERTY keyboard on remote is good IF using only lower or upper care alpha characters. Small footprint. Easy setup non-secured wireless network.
Cons:
In first week, Freeze/lock-up forcing unplugging unit five times. Passwords difficult to type on remote keyboard. resorted to using screen. Needs another computer running TVersity for adequate content. Slanted top makes holding difficult while unplugging to reset unit. Lacking documentation for Boxee terminology for setup of secure wireless network and Windows 7 network. Petty fight with Hulu serves neither organization. Browser frequently looses pointer or will not permit clicking/selecting items on a web page using boxee browser. No filtering for family content. NOT recommended for ANY Family with children under 18 years old. R and Mature rated movies , TV & Internet material may not be shielded from children.
Overall Review:
Tried other Media Players, boxee is best. Boxee is easy setup unless you setup TVersity Pro. This unit needs Hulu.
Wait for 6 months or a year until they get the kinks out, currently should be marketed to Early Adopters.
