D-Link today announced the Boxee Remote Control by D-Link, giving Boxee users on PC and Mac the remote previously only found with the Boxee Box.

The Boxee Remote Control features a sleek, two-sided design with a full QWERTY keypad that works seamlessly with Boxee software – the most intuitive way for Mac and PC users to bring TV shows, movies, music, and photos from the Internet to their TV.

"The Boxee Remote Control is ideal for home theater enthusiasts who have customized their home entertainment environment with a specialized PC or Mac media center, but still want the Boxee Box's unique viewing experience on their TV," said Daniel Kelley, D-Link's Associate Vice President of Consumer Marketing, North America. "We are thrilled to offer this complementary tool to consumers already using Boxee's software on their home computers – enabling people to more easily search, browse and type from the couch."

Featuring double-sided controls with a built-in QWERTY keyboard and simple browsing interface, the Boxee Remote Control enables easy access to the search and social capabilities of the Boxee software on PC or Mac. Allowing users to enjoy and share their favorite video-on-demand service through their social networks, the Boxee Remote Control lets anyone quickly and easily input URLs and account information for their favorite websites. In addition, unlike infrared TV remotes, the Boxee Remote Control uses RF signals via an included nano-sized USB adapter so consumers never have to worry about pointing the remote at the computer.

The Boxee Remote by D-Link (DSM-22) is currently retailing for $49.99. Amazon has it discounted
