Boxee Box internals revealed. NVIDIA Tegra 2 FTW
Many have been asking about it and we’ve been eager to share the details of what’s inside the Boxee Box by D-Link. Today we’re making a joint announcement with NVIDIA and D-Link revealing that the Boxee Box is powered by the Tegra 2 (T20) platform!
The T20 is based around a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU with that additional graphic umphhh NVIDIA is famous for, allowing us to deliver our user experience in a small box, and very low power consumption (we’re green too 
)
With Tegra 2 powering the Boxee Box you can:
- Enjoy a fluid and responsive user interface that is similar to the UI performance up till now available only on full blown PCs
- Play 1080p video from locally stored content and stream HD video content from the Internet
- Play Adobe® Flash® 10.1 content from across the web, including HD content
More inside the Box:
- RF chip by Nordic – to support a great remote control experience that is not dependent on line-of-sight and can work from anywhere in the house
- 802.11N wireless chip by Broadcom
What’s not in the Box:
- No hard-drive – We discussed hard-drive at length with D-Link, and figured people already have storage solutions, and that we should do our best to reduce the price of the Boxee Box. You’ll be able to connect your choice of storage devices directly to the Box using USB
- No IR – While we realize many people are using universal remotes, we believe there is a greater benefit having a full QWERTY keyboard, and the right way to do that was RF. We really wanted to also support IR, for various reasons we could not get it as part of the build. We continue supporting this in software, so you can use any IR dongle and continue using your universal remote with Boxee.
