Additionally, starting today, US customers will be able to pre-order the Boxee Box by D-Link exclusively through Amazon.com for $199.

The Boxee Box by D-Link, first released in December 2009, received critical acclaim from the industry and is highly anticipated by consumers. The product is the first media device capable of playing most popular media file formats from a home network or external hard drive along with free and premium TV shows and movies, videos, music, and photos from the Internet, with support for full 1080p high-definition (HD) and 5.1 surround sound.

Boxee Box by D-Link - Back

“Three years ago when we started Boxee, nothing like this existed,” said Avner Ronen, CEO of Boxee. “We wanted to watch video in a way that was only available on a PC. Today we're taking a big step towards TV for an Internet generation with D-Link and Intel.”

The Boxee Box uses the Intel Atom CE4100, Intel's system-on-a-chip designed for TV and Internet integration. It provides performance, audio visual and graphic capabilities to enable Internet-driven applications, video, personal media, advanced user interfaces and electronic program guides. The new chip lets the Boxee Box deliver a wide range of applications and ensures support for 1080p content, no matter the source.

“Consumers are ready for the smart TV experience, bringing Internet-based applications and services into the living room,” said Wilfred Martis, General Manager of Retail CE, Intel Digital Home Group. “Taking advantage of the advanced performance and media capabilities of the Intel Atom CE4100, the Boxee Box by D-Link is poised to make a major impact on smart TV.”
