D-Link and Boxee today announced that their Boxee Box will now support the new SlingPlayer app for Connected Devices. The new SlingPlayer application is now available to download and requires a SlingBox Solo or Pro HD device to function.
Once installed, Boxee Box owners can then use their remote controls to access cable boxes, DVRs, or satellite receivers. This includes setting and playing back DVR recordings, as well as streaming live TV. Watch a demonstration of the new SlingPlayer App for Connected Devices after the break.
Enhanced Features of the Boxee Box
The Boxee Box by D-Link is designed to be a versatile and powerful media hub. It features an SD card slot, two USB ports, optical digital audio, HDMI output, 802.11n wireless, and an Ethernet port for connectivity flexibility. This array of ports and connectivity options ensures that users can easily connect a variety of devices and enjoy high-quality media playback.
One of the standout features of the Boxee Box is its double-sided remote, which includes a built-in QWERTY keyboard. This makes searching for content and navigating through menus much more convenient compared to traditional remotes. The simple browsing interface further enhances the user experience, allowing consumers to kick back and watch virtually anything with ease.
Integration with SlingPlayer App
The integration of the SlingPlayer app significantly expands the capabilities of the Boxee Box. With the SlingPlayer app, users can stream live TV and access their DVR recordings from anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection. This is particularly useful for those who travel frequently or want to watch their favorite shows on the go.
To use the SlingPlayer app, users need a SlingBox Solo or Pro HD device. These devices connect to your home TV setup and stream the content to your Boxee Box. This means you can watch live TV, recorded shows, and even control your DVR remotely. The SlingPlayer app essentially turns your Boxee Box into a powerful, portable TV solution.
The addition of the SlingPlayer app to the Boxee Box lineup is a significant enhancement for users who want more control over their viewing experience. It allows for a seamless integration of live TV and recorded content, making it easier than ever to access your favorite shows and movies.
