Here is a very frank review from an owner of the Boxee Box:
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Internet Entertainment System, June 5, 2012
By M. Ross "mick"
This box is an excellent method for connecting with Internet entertainment. We use the box
primarily for Netflix and GBTV. There are some foibles, which I will list - However, the
technical support is good and they are working to correct any problems. Because it is based on
the open-source Boxee OS, problem resolution is a little less organized - But, that is the cost of
open-source.
FORTES:
Power on/off
This is an important feature. Roku, for example, is on continually and has a habit of self-

Qwerty Keyboard
This is great for entering data, whether entering a movie selection or a URL - SPEEDY! It beats
"arrow over" character selection hands-down. Of course, that option is available if you choose -
or are conditioned to use that method.
IR interface*
The Boxee Box has an IR interface. Use this port to attach a Manta interface. This allows a
single controller, such as the Logitech Harmony 670 Universal Remote, to operate the Boxee
Box (whose keyboard controller is RF). You still need the Boxee Box controller to turn on the
Boxee Box.
Stability
None of the notorious Roku "loading" messages while watching a program.
FOIBLES:
Forgetfulness
The Boxee Box will gently enter "sleep mode" if left unused. Unfortunately it forgets anything
you may have logged into, such as Netflix and GBTV. You must then "back out" of the
application (e.g. Netflix, GBTV) and re-enter the application to access the application programs.
New Technology
New technology - And a whole new set of problems, including those between the provider (e.g.
Boxee Box) and the vendor (e.g. GBTV): Broadcast delays, voice syncing, etc. Expect some
workarounds.
Netflix Problem
...when playing selections, one sometimes receives a "program not available." Netflix has a
workaround for this Boxee Box problem - and Netflix support is excellent. For those who I
notice having the same problem, here is the Netflix solution:
1. Using the Boxee Box controller's QWERTY keyboard, enter the following arrow key sequence
in fast succession:Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Up, Up, Up.
2. After key sequence is entered on Boxee Box keyboard, power-cycle the wireless modem.
3. Press the Netflix Boxee Box button and enter the Netflix account information.
4. Boxee Box will now play Netflix titles.
I hope this information helps the frustrated - Remember, this is a brand new media technology
for all media providers, whether Roku, Sony, Google, or Boxee Box - expect problems. It is my
humble opinion that this is the best product with the most flexibility at this point in time.
*IR is Infrared and RF is radio frequency. You do not need a 'line-of-site' with RF. However,
most digital entertainment equipment use IR due its smaller real-estate and cost factors.
