The new Boxee Box and Remote Control from D-Link gets a hans-on from Dave Zatz at CES.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dave addresses man of the questions we had about the box and remote. Zatz says the Media Player\/Extender:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cshould ship sometime in the next few months for under $200. (I\u2019ll guess $199.) The unit looks more sophisticated and sexy than <\/em>the fine renders we saw last month<\/em><\/a> with a polished front face, that was next to impossible to photograph.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n Photo via ZatzNotFunny<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\nDave said the remote looks great and the possibility of inadvertent key presses is pretty remote (pardon the pun). The keys are chicklet-style and recessed so it should work on a tabletop. Best of all the remote will also sell separately with a USB dongle for use on computers running Boxee. I might have to pick one up to see if I can get it working with SageTV<\/a> and MediaCenter as well!<\/p>\nNo official word on pricing but the word is sub-$200.<\/p>\nRead more at ZatzNotFunny!<\/a><\/p>\n
