Boxee Remote is now supported !!
Today’s last commit just brought complete support for Boxee remote control. While originally shipped with BoxeeBox, the remote control is available since a few months as a standalone device (for 39$ only on Amazon).
The Boxee Remote comes as nice and shiny 2 faces remote control. Front face provides simple media controls (arrow keys, ok, play/pause, menu) while the back face features a full QWERTY keyboard. Support for this new remote control now provides you with the perfect input for your multimedia experience.
The remote is USB-HID compliant and seen as a regular keyboard, making it of course independent of Boxee front-end itself and, as such, is recognized on any front-end we support, being XBMC, MythTV, Freevo or Enna.

really excited at the revival of geexbox….
thanks benjamin
Does anybody know if one can buy the remote in europe (austria or germany) as well?
Amazon.at does not sell it. and shipping from the us is a little bit expensive …
thanks
Not that I know of. I had to buy mine on Amazon.com USA and shipping was almost the remote’s price
There’s the XBMC remote, which is a different design, and is shipped from the UK. It’s not supported yet, but will be as soon as I get mine (they’re clearing the order backlog, so it shouldn’t take long).
