The Boxee Box, a mini-square-ish computer with the sole purpose of running Boxee on a television, is becoming more compelling with every press release. Made by D-Link this little box is being reported to hit the market at under $200 and to have one heckuva remote control.
At that size, with that design, that price point and with a remote control that sports a QWERTY keyboard on the back I see no reason not to get a Boxee Box. I’m still looking forward to details on the way it integrates with the home network though.
Boxee allows you to use network drives as storage, so you can point it at any network accessible drive, and it will be able to play the files on it.
I know on the Macintosh the Boxee application would simply scour any connected drive be they internal, external, or networked. But I was wondering how the Boxee Box itself would recognize the drives that are connected to my Mac.
As far as I know, it will be running the same Boxee software, and it’ll be connected to your network, so as long as your drives are network accessible, you should be fine.
