	Boxee Box by D-Link is a Linux based media player powered by Intel Atom CE4100 SoC (System-on-a-Chip), codename: Sodaville, with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500 (based on the PowerVR SGX535 OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU from Imagination Technologies), that is from what is referred to as "Intel CE" or " Intel CEx" series of x86 media processors designed for consumer electronics, which all feature advanced integrated "Intel Precision View Technology" display processors. Boxee Box first became available on the market bck in 2010, and the [[Boxee Box remote]] that comes with it is a dual-sided RF remote / QWERTY keyboard that probably inspired the design many of the other dual-sided air-mouse remotes that are available today.

	The hardware box features many of the ports and connectors that are available on most ~~[[Android hardware\|~~Android media players]] today, namely an HDMI 1.3a port with CEC support, an optical SP/DIF for digital audio out, a stereo RCA analog audio out, RJ-45 GigaBit Ethernet port, and 802.11n Wi-Fi, two USB 2.0 ports, and an SD card slot. And its Intel Atom CE4100 SoC have dedicated integrated circuits for hardware acceleration video and image decoding of JPEG, MPEG-2 (MP@HL/MP@ML profiles), VC1/WM9 (AP@L1-L3 profiles), MPEG-4.2 ASP, and H.264 (MPEG-4.2 AVC HP@L4.1 profiles), with display processor capable of chroma up-sampling scaling, temporal noise reduction, de-interlacing, and output to 1080p@24 fps film format, as well as 1080p@50 and 1080p@60 fps with deep color in RGB/YUV. The integrated 24-bit 192KHz audio DSP (Digital Signal Processor) capable of hardware acceleration of DD/AC3, DD+, Dolby True HD, DTS, DTS-HD, MP3, WMA9, and AAC plus V2. Dedicated Transport Processor as security processor for hardware accelerated decryption of DES, 3DES, AES, MULTI2, and DVB-CSA transport stream descrambling.

	Most people was however disappointed with the initial firmware of the Boxee Box at launch time, and even if subsequent firmware updates did greatly improved the user experience, many considered the effort of porting Kodi to the device early on, but due to non-disclosure agreements with application makers like Netflix the Boxee Box shipped as a closed product and it is not until recently it has been made easy to hack.

	Gaining root access and installing {{Kodi}} on the Boxee box is today a relatively simple process and should not take longer than 15-30 minutes. All that you will need is a USB memory stick, external USB hard drive or an SD card. A high speed USB memory stick (3.0) is recommended to maximise the USB 2.0 port of the Boxee Box. When choosing what size you will need, keep in mind {{Kodi} addons and fanart will be stored whatever device you choose. If you choose to use a SD card, you may want to use a USB SD card reader as there are reports of heat destroying cards placed in the Boxee Box SD slot. For the remainder of this article a USB stick will be referred as the chosen external device.

	== Installing ~~XBMC~~ ==		== Installing {{Kodi}} ==
	Gaining root access and installing ~~XBMC~~ on the Boxee box is today a relatively simple process and should not take longer than 15-30 minutes. All that you will need is a USB memory stick, external USB hard drive or an SD card. A high speed USB memory stick (3.0) is recommended to maximise the USB 2.0 port of the Boxee Box. When choosing what size you will need, keep in mind ~~XBMC~~ addons and fanart will be stored whatever device you choose. If you choose to use a SD card, you may want to use a USB SD card reader as there are reports of heat destroying cards placed in the Boxee Box SD slot. For the remainder of this article a USB stick will be referred as the chosen external device.

	The first thing you will have to do is to gain root access to the Boxee Box, and to do that you need to install "Boxee+Hacks" which does exactly that. Boxee+Hacks is a mod of the stock operating system that opens up more features and options to you. Information and instructions on how to install Boxee+Hacks are found on their website, http://boxeed.in/ and on the wiki, https://github.com/cigamit/boxeehack/wiki		The first thing you will have to do is to gain root access to the Boxee Box, and to do that you need to install "Boxee+Hacks" which does exactly that.

	====Run from external memory====		====Run from external memory====
	First you will need to download the latest version of ~~XBMC~~ for Boxee; there are two ways to do this. The first is compiling a build yourself ~~XBMC~~ from source using code by following the instructions available on https://github.com/quarnster/boxeebox-xbmc, or much simpler, download the latest pre-compiled version from http://www.devil-strike.com/xbmc_boxee/index.php (get the zip from the 'official' folder).

	Once you finished building it or downloading the zip file, extract the files to the root of a USB stick formatted to FAT32. Making sure ~~xbmc~~.bin is in the root folder, insert the storage device in Boxee Box, power on the device, and it should automatically boot into ~~XBMC~~.

Making sure kodi.bin is in the root folder, insert the storage device in Boxee Box, power on the device, and it should automatically boot into {{Kodi}.

	If you want to go back to Boxee original software just remove USB-memory/USB-disk/SD-card and reboot the Boxee Box. Once you remove the storage device, it will just load the "Boxee+Hacks" that you have installed previously, booting the original Boxee Box software.
