Walmart further extended its streaming media reach when D-Link announced the retailer would exclusively sell its MovieNite DSM-310 streaming media player, which delivers 1080p HD movies, TV shows and Internet radio to a TV. The $59.99 player streams video content from Vudu, Netflix and YouTube and music from Pandora, D-Link said. Users can also watch a live feed from a mydlink-enabled network camera on TV and share photos with friends via the Picasa app, it said. Regarding whether the MovieNite box might be upgradeable for access to UltraViolet content in the future, a D-Link spokeswoman said there are no updates planned at this time. MovieNite won’t compete with D-Link’s Boxee Box, which isn’t sold through Walmart, largely because Boxee offers “more options” for consumers at “varying price points to help meet a range of streaming media needs,” the D-Link spokeswoman said. The Boxee Box “rounds out” D-Link’s product line in offering a “complete Web-to-TV solution,” she said. The Boxee device provides a “much more feature-rich experience” with 250 apps, local file support and a new Live TV tuner for over-the-air and clear QAM channels, a Boxee spokeswoman said in noting that the company’s relationship with D-Link hasn’t changed. The Boxee spokeswoman declined comment on whether new products would be introduced this year. Boxee recently shipped the Live TV tuner, which is being sold through its website, she said.
