Defining the Boxee box

The Boxee box is a compact way of viewing your favorite movies, videos and other media. But what exactly is the Boxee box? In this episode, we'll tell you about what the Boxee box is capable of and define some of its hardware characteristics.

The Boxee box has a somewhat unorthodox shape in that it sits with a side cut out of it to make it look a little bit more unique. The problem with this is that it may disrupt the placement of many of your other hardware devices, but only slightly.

Boxee comes with two USB ports to connect to input devices or other hard drives and has several options for connecting to your television or display unit. There is an optical port available as well as HDMI ports for connection. There is also a power supply port for power input and an ethernet port for Internet.

The Boxee remote has some fairly linear controls for controlling the Boxee and also a keyboard-style interface for making searching easier. This makes searching and finding videos and other files much easier.
