You may recall that the Boxee Box, made by D-link, is a Wi-Fi-enabled hardware device that will include HDMI, SPDIF and RCA Audio connections to run Boxee Beta on your TV set for under $200.
Now we're also learning that it will play almost anything, including non-DRM media. The RF remote makes it possible to control the device even when it's out of sight, and it's much smaller than originally portrayed. In fact, it looks to be no taller than a can of Coke.
So those of you who are scared of purchasing yet another large device that will take over your entire media center: Fear not. According to Boxee's blog:
"Rest assured the Boxee Box will fit into your entertainment center. If the look doesn’t quite fit with your decor, not to worry. The RF remote means you can place the box out of sight and still control it. Of course, the Boxee Box prefers being on top."
While we wait for its official January debut at CES and the much anticipated 2010 Q2 launch, check out my interview with Boxee CEO Avner Ronen for NBC San Diego below. We've also included a few additional images to further pique your curiosity.
