Boxee Remote by D-Link Gives Boxee Software Users Lounge Feel From Home Theater PCs
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. – July 6, 2011 – D-Link today announced the Boxee Handheld remote control by D-Link, giving Boxee users on PC and Mac the innovative remote previously only found with the Boxee Box by D-Link. The Boxee Handheld remote control contains a sleek, two-sided design with an entire QWERTY keypad that works seamlessly with Boxee software – the main intuitive way for Mac and PC users to bring TV shows, movies, music, and photos from the web to their TV.
“The Boxee Handheld remote control is good for home theater enthusiasts who’ve customized their home entertainment environment with a specialized PC or Mac media center, but still want the Boxee Box’s unique viewing experience on their TV,” said Daniel Kelley, D-Link’s Associate Vice chairman of Consumer Marketing, North America. “We’re thrilled to provide this complementary tool to consumers already using Boxee’s software on their home computers – enabling people to more easily search, browse and kind from the couch.”
Featuring double-sided controls with a built-in QWERTY keyboard and easy browsing interface, the Boxee Handheld remote control enables quick access to the hunt and social capabilities of the Boxee software on PC or Mac. Allowing users to enjoy and share their favorite video-on-demand service through their social networks, the Boxee Handheld remote control lets anyone quickly and simply input URLs and account information for his or her favorite websites. Besides, unlike infrared TV remotes, the Boxee Handheld remote control uses RF signals via an included nano-sized USB adapter so consumers never need to worry about pointing the remote on the computer.
“The Boxee Handheld remote control was the most pointed out advances with the Boxee Box by D-Link. We’re excited to bring it to all the Boxee users who’ve built customized home media centers and need to get much more out in their Boxee software,” said Andrew Kippen, vice chairman of selling, Boxee. “For Boxee software users, this remote makes the whole difference between a computer experience and person who seems like watching TV. Consumers can literally chill, relax and control their SmartTV experience from their couch.”
The Boxee Handheld remote control can be used as one more remote for the Boxee Box by D-Link. The Boxee Box is one of the best ways to bring TV shows, movies, music, and photos from the net for your TV in a straightforward, easy-to-use way – all that’s needed is a TV with an HDMI input and a web connection. Unlike some other set-top device, the Boxee Box has support for an entire web browser, full HD streaming from the web, support for all popular media file formats, and integrated social networking that delivers personal recommendations from Facebook and Twitter straight to the television.
