1
00:00:00,799 --> 00:00:08,559
this is exciting this is the dlink boxy

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,920
box okay so it's in the shape of a box

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:16,720
it is another media streamer but this one is actually pretty unique so let's

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:19,199
go over the overall outside of the box

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,600
of the boxy box and then we'll open it up and talk a little bit more about some

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:26,920
of the cool features so okay let's start with the front online movie shows and

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:30,920
videos for your TV okay pretty straightforward next we have the uh

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:34,480
inside content which we'll actually show you so there's no real need for that

9
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:39,480
here we go so the boxy Box gives you on demand TV hundreds of TV shows available

be available for the boxy box within the

00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,640

give your wallet a break with tons of free entertainment from the internet

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:20,920
with no monthly fee so that's all pretty cool right let's go ahead and open this

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:24,759
up and find out what is inside the package for the

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:31,840
boxy first things first we have the unit itself which is

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:35,159
kind of unique looking

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,320
so why don't we we'll take this out but

25
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:41,479
then we're going to show all the accessories before we really get too far

26
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:46,560
into it there we are so it sticks out of your

27
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:52,479
table kind of like that looks like a cube embedded in the

28
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,399
table inside of the packaging is all

29
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:59,240
black cardboard here and I'm just sort of taking this out so there's that's

30
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:02,360
what was housing the boxy box itself and

31
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:05,159
then next we have a power adapter all

32
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:10,959
right we'll need that next we have an HDMI cable pretty standard HDMI cable

33
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:17,879
looks to be 6 ft long okay so that's to hook it up to your TV next we

34
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,879
have a GPL code

35
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:24,080
statement includes software code developed by Third parties including

36
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:30,080
software code subject to the general public license okay remember the boxy

37
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:35,200
does use open source software and there are going to be many third party apps in

38
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,280
fact there are already many open-source

39
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:42,360
apps available for the boxy which will allow you to access content that is not

40
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:48,040
necessarily officially supported so uh you didn't hear it from me but you heard

41
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,959
it somewhere so step one there's your easy setup

42
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:57,920
guide okay comes in a couple of different languages and finally a little

43
00:02:54,120 --> 00:03:00,200
bit more documentation and then the

44
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:05,720
remote oo the remote's actually pretty nice oh that's really nice okay let's

45
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,720
have a look at the remote for a second

46
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:14,360
here look at that so we got a full keyboard on the remote including access

47
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,360
to lots of different special characters and whatnot we've got arrow keys space

48
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:25,200
this looks like a menu key of some sort and then on the other

49
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:28,040
side this is very very nice we've got a

50
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:34,360
play button as well as a menu button and then I can't tell where whether this is

51
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:36,959
going to be just a button or a touchpad

52
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:41,080
wow I'm actually like Flying Blind here I'm going to have to do some uh some

53
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,040
definite follow-up videos on this guy to show you guys all of the cool features

54
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:49,560
and uh to show it to you in action but just give me a moment and I will be

55
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:54,439
back so now let's have a look at the unit itself as you can see it's quite

56
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:58,599
small now this is actually Intel atom based so there's quite a bit of

57
00:03:56,599 --> 00:04:03,159
processing power going on inside the boxy now now you can kind of see the

58
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,840
boxy logo there and then it says buy dink right under it I'm sure once it's

59
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,760
turned on and like I said I will be doing some more content about this

60
00:04:08,519 --> 00:04:13,959
particular media player uh coming up shortly here's our power switch here on

61
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,479
the top well it's hard to tell what's sort of the top and what's the sides and

62
00:04:15,799 --> 00:04:21,280
because it sits on the table like that so it's kind of challenging but on this

63
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,960
side we're going to find our sdmmc slot and then this is clearly the

64
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:31,440
back because that is where all of our connectivity is so there's our power

65
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:33,639
input as well as our analog audio out we

66
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:40,120
do have support for optical audio out as well as audio over the HDMI cable then

67
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,360
we have two USB ports as well as a lan

68
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:46,280
Port so on the bottom you have kind of a rubberized uh grippy bottom so that it's

69
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,320
not going to move around once you've placed it on next to your TV or whatever

70
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:56,039
else you want I mean you can use a monitor if you feel like it it doesn't actually matter but I want to talk a

71
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:00,240
little bit more about the software features so if you go into the

72
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:04,960
repository that's where you can access the apps and you can either

73
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:08,840
install apps individually depending on your preferences or there are some app

74
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:13,199
bundles that you can download and I'll be giving more details on this in my

75
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:18,000
follow-up videos and uh that's what's going to give you access to a lot of the

76
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:21,360
really cool content on the boxy another thing that the boxy does really well is

77
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:26,199
it sorts your media you can get all of your album art downloaded and uh the way

78
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:31,360
it organizes it is pretty unique so we'll be doing a video on that as well

79
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:33,520
mostly this is an unbox in and a stay

80
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:37,759
