It was only a matter of time before D-Link entered the WiDi fray. Even though Intel is pushing manufacturers to pack the wireless display tech into practically every laptop (and even a few tablets), options for actually getting that feed on your TV have been scarce. The decidedly nondescript MainStage adapter gives you at least one more choice and, since it boasts WiDi 2.0, you can beam 1080p video and 5.1 surround sound to your home theater from up to 33 feet away — all while you continue to browse and chat on the small screen. You can find them now in all the usual places (Newegg, Best Buy, Amazon, etc…) for $ 129.99, but our neighbors to the north in Canada will have to wait till July to get their hockey-loving mittens on one. Check out the PR after the break.

Many moons ago, Atheros had a dream, of a future where a single device could simultaneously extend Ethernet, WiFi and powerline connectivity to any part of your home. Well, gents, the future is now, as D-Link has taken the idea (and presumably a presumably paid a hefty licensing fee) to bring just such a device to market. The $ 130 D-Link DHP-1320 does 802.11n WiFi at up to 300Mbps, sends up to 200Mbps through your house’s electrical system and sports three 10/100 LAN jacks as well. Oh, and never you mind that Netgear did something similar a couple months ago. PR after the break.

Just a couple of years after its initial debut, Yahoo’s Connected TV platform is finally ready to escape the TV, among other things. One surprise shown off tonight during the pre-CES Digital Experience event is a new D-Link box that overlays the widgets on any video signal to any display by way of HDMI passthrough. Also on display are prototype remote apps for Android and iPad, both could act as a remote control, while the tablet app could also search or browse for additional programming and share videos straight to the TV Airplay-style.

On the paying bills end of things however, this year’s big announcement is the ability to tie in with live TV broadcasts, while the company didn’t reveal what information keyed the system, it figure out if a TV program or ad being watched is a compatible one and pop up prompts accordingly. While that could lead to even more annoying ads for consumers, there’s at least a few interesting applications like the one we saw voting on potential winners of a boxing match as it starts on Showtime, one of the initial partners along with CBS, ABC, Showtime, HSN, Ford and Mattel. Check out the press release after the break, we should have a video of the demo up shortly.

You might have seen this Snapstick thing about a month ago, where you can watch videos on your TV after finding them on your phone. Well, they’re only in private beta at the moment, but they’re now in talks with D-Link to perhaps put out an actual device as soon as Q2 of this year. That’s a fast track, all right.

Personally I don’t see the draw of this system, since once you “snap” something to your screen, you can’t really interact with it. I mean, there are all these big buttons on the screen that you can’t touch. What’s the big deal about being able to access the whole web if you have to browse on your tiny phone screen and wave your arm around every time you want to see something bigger? I guess this isn’t really a product aimed at me.

Plus, if this is an iOS app, what about all the flash video content out there? Am I tripping? Maybe I’m missing some key info here.

At the very least I’ll give it a try if we can swing by their booth at CES.

It’s a little strange that the Boxee Box by D-Link feels like a late entrant in this year’s crowded smart TV market — the core Boxee software has been around forever, and the Box itself was announced way back in January at CES. But a platform switch from NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 chip to Intel’s Atom-based CE4100 platform cost Boxee and D-Link valuable time, while the Boxee software went through a dramatic UI transformation from the beta to 1.0. What’s more, Boxee’s gone from being an upstart rock’n'roll rebel to a legit market player, with a Netflix deal on the books and — wonder of wonders — an agreement to bring Hulu Plus to the Boxee Box sometime next year. That’s a lot of changes, and, quite frankly, a lot of hype — Boxee’s dedicated fans are expecting the small company and its asymmetrical Box to show up no less than Apple and Google. So have Boxee CEO Avner Ronen and company pulled it off? Is the Boxee Box the ultimate connected TV device? Or has a punk rock media revolution turned into just another polite New Wave streamer? Read on for the full Engadget review to find out!
