This jaunty looking device is set to be the best media-streaming solution for non-geeks since the invention of the TV.  If you haven’t heard of Boxee before, it’s an all-in-one application allowing you to play your movies and music on your TV as well as access online content.

Until now you had to download and install it yourself on a spare computer, hook it up to your home entertainment system and sort out things like remotes yourself.  Fine for the nerds among us, but a bit too much like hard work for everyone else.  This is all set to change however with the launch of the Boxee Box – a dedicated machine built by networking company D-Link.

Just plug it in and turn it on, and you’ll see what all the fuss is about.  No details yet on UK pricing but if the $200 price tag in the USA is anything to go by it should be reasonably affordable, and is said to start shipping within the first quarter of 2010.
