00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:10.920
box okay so it's in the shape of a box

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:16.720
it is another media streamer but this one is actually pretty unique so let's

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:19.199
go over the overall outside of the box

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

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:26.920
of the cool features so okay let's start with the front online movie shows and

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.920

with no monthly fee so that's all pretty cool right let's go ahead and open this

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:24.759
up and find out what is inside the package for the

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:31.840
boxy first things first we have the unit itself which is

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:35.159
kind of unique looking

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.320
so why don't we we'll take this out but

00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:41.479
then we're going to show all the accessories before we really get too far

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:46.560
into it there we are so it sticks out of your

00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:52.479
table kind of like that looks like a cube embedded in the

00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:54.399
table inside of the packaging is all

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

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:02.360
what was housing the boxy box itself and

00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:05.159
then next we have a power adapter all

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:10.959
right we'll need that next we have an HDMI cable pretty standard HDMI cable

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

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:17.879
have a GPL code

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:24.080
statement includes software code developed by Third parties including

00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:30.080
software code subject to the general public license okay remember the boxy

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:35.200
does use open source software and there are going to be many third party apps in

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:37.280
fact there are already many open-source

00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:42.360
apps available for the boxy which will allow you to access content that is not

00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:48.040
necessarily officially supported so uh you didn't hear it from me but you heard

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.959
it somewhere so step one there's your easy setup

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:57.920
guide okay comes in a couple of different languages and finally a little

00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:00.200
bit more documentation and then the

00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:05.720
remote oo the remote's actually pretty nice oh that's really nice okay let's

00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:05.720
have a look at the remote for a second

00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:14.360
here look at that so we got a full keyboard on the remote including access

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:19.360
to lots of different special characters and whatnot we've got arrow keys space

00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:25.200
this looks like a menu key of some sort and then on the other

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:28.040
side this is very very nice we've got a

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

00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:36.959
going to be just a button or a touchpad

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

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:45.040
definite follow-up videos on this guy to show you guys all of the cool features

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

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

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:58.599
small now this is actually Intel atom based so there's quite a bit of

00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:03.159
processing power going on inside the boxy now now you can kind of see the

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

00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:10.760
turned on and like I said I will be doing some more content about this

00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:13.959
particular media player uh coming up shortly here's our power switch here on

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

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

00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:25.960
side we're going to find our sdmmc slot and then this is clearly the

00:04:24.280 --> 00:04:31.440
back because that is where all of our connectivity is so there's our power

00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:33.639
input as well as our analog audio out we

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:40.120
do have support for optical audio out as well as audio over the HDMI cable then

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.360
we have two USB ports as well as a lan

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

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

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

00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:00.240
little bit more about the software features so if you go into the

00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:04.960
repository that's where you can access the apps and you can either

00:05:03.080 --> 00:05:08.840
install apps individually depending on your preferences or there are some app

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:13.199
bundles that you can download and I'll be giving more details on this in my

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

00:05:15.400 --> 00:05:21.360
really cool content on the boxy another thing that the boxy does really well is

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

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

00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:33.520
mostly this is an unbox in and a stay

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:37.759
