highlights cuz I don't have a proper subscription to it uh Game Center is an example of one of the apps that you can use with the boxy so the way I have it hooked up is quite simple I have an Ethernet cable plugged into my power line Ethernet which goes upstairs to my router I have an HDMI cable going into the TV for my audio and video and then I have a power now one of the first things I noticed about the boxy besides the cool glowing green logo on the front is that the remote is outstanding it's uh the response is very very Snappy and you've got okay so uh yes I want to leave this video uh you've got what is basically a four-way directional pad on the front with a play pause button as well as a back or menu button so um then you flip it over to the other side and you've got a full keyboard you can use the alt button here uh to access things like the at sign pound sign exclamation mark numbers all that good stuff that you might need if you're doing a little bit of data entry now you can also instead of using the directional pad the enter button play pause Etc here you can also use these buttons so there's your menu there's your directional Keys there's your enter pretty cool okay so here let's just go uh back so this is in the most popular apps uh this is not in the repos repository so just looking through some of the ones that are included uh remember that um Netflix will be coming before the end of the year so here you go some of the cool stuff that's available now with the subscription for I mean NHL is the one that I care about but with the subscription for uh for NHL you can actually go ahead and uh uh watch games that are outside of your area and it's a pretty cool stuffff so let's see what in Cartoon Network I haven't actually installed this app see it's that simple application installed successfully takes just about a minute well less than a minute and then you can go ahead and check out what's in the uh the various apps so uh hit down to browse okay oh boo okay well we can at least check out games uh this is going to be one of the disadvantages I guess in Canada is that not all of the content is going to be available here but if you really want to watch cartoons never fear because there are other options so if you go into the repositories I have taken the LI Liberty of installing uh the navx as well as fuz the D's third party repository so I had found some uh some cartoons on this one so this is all unsupported unofficial boxy content now the overall setup process for the boxy including uh plugging it in and uh running a firmware update at the beginning and then uh configuring it to run on my network probably took about uh gee maybe 10 minutes hey cool there's a uh repository for XKCD who doesn't like XKCD all kinds of neat stuff for this anyway the setup was very straightforward and uh very very easy to use now if I could figure out how to zoom in then that would probably be a good thing cuz it's pretty oh dear Wiccan readers I understand modern wiccans are not usually all about the curses and hexes but Darth Vader was recently converted as many is still figuring it all out okay all right well let's go back let's find some of the other uh apps in the repository here okay I'll I'll come back when I found that uh cartoon one well I've got some good news and some bad news the uh the bad news is that most of the repositories in the fuz the D as well as the other uh repository app that I had are not really all that applicable for Canadians um the good news is that the boxy is still a very competent media streamer across your local network so I'm just going to go ahead and uh show you guys one of the things that I did set up so if I go into movies and the navigation so intuitive actually if I go into movies and just click all it'll actually just grab all the movies on my Home Server oh no these aren't for my Home Server never mind uh oh I wanted to show you the local content okay so there I go to files ha oh wait no okay here we go files movies aha so that just pulls all of the cover art as well as the files from all the movies on my home server and then I can also go to shows and it'll pull down all the shows from my home server so at least in the meantime while we get some more content here in Canada it's uh pretty effective for sorting through all of your video files and playing them it does play 1080p HD files over the network which is pretty cool and uh yeah so I mean it does it's not perfect yet for Canadians but there is definitely a lot of potential here thanks for checking out my video first look at the dlink boxy box oh yeah I wanted to show you guys one of the cool things I found in navx uh they have a YouTube app and if I go to Canada I can see Canadian YouTube content and then I can find the most disgusted from today and and I will find my video about whether or not a tinfoil hat blocks your brain waves from being read by the government oh I clicked the wrong one oh I'm watching Justin Bieber not what I meant to do no leave please aha the boxy can uh close content that you didn't mean to watch very quickly excellent excellent feature so there we go
