Wiki Boxee

This page will be dedicated to a general overview, descriptions, and information related to the Boxee media player.

The Boxee Box (DSM-380) is made by D-Link and features an Intel CE4100 SOC (Intel Atom CE4170).

It is quite similiar in function to that (security wise) of the Logitech Revue, or Gen 1 Sony Google TV boxes.

Don't throw your Boxee Boxes away just yet

Yesterday I started sniffing traffic from my Boxee Box in hopes of developing a fake boxee server to replace the official servers that just went down.

Restart Boxee with no wifi/network present

I am at my cottage and just reset the boxee in error. It is now walking me through the start up process and I get stuck on the network set up page. 

We have no internet connection availalble (wifi or ethernet). 

Is it possible to set up or do I need to take it home and reset it when wifi is available?
