D-Link's Boxee-branded set-top box will go on sale in the UK on 12 November.
The blocky box will be priced at around £200 and connects your TV directly to the Boxee IPTV service. Boxee's software is based on the open source media centre software XBMC.
The box has HMDI for the TV connection, and 802.11n Wi-Fi - 2.4GHz only, so far as we can see - and Ethernet for the network link. It all runs on Intel's Atom chippage.
Once connected up, you can play internet content, slot in an SD card, or hook up a hard drive to either of the box's two USB ports. It supports pretty much every format there is apart from DRM-encumbered files. ®
