1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,360
here is the boxy protruding from the table that I've propped my television on

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:12,400
so I've got NHL game center running here I'm just watching some highlights cuz I

3
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:17,039
don't have a proper subscription to it uh Game Center is an example of one of

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,760
the apps that you can use with the boxy so the way I have it hooked up is quite

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,840
simple I have an Ethernet cable plugged into my power line Ethernet which goes

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:30,840
upstairs to my router I have an HDMI cable going into the TV for my audio and

7
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:32,320
video and then I have a power now one of

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:38,520
the first things I noticed about the boxy besides the cool glowing green logo

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,280
on the front is that the remote is

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:47,120
outstanding it's uh the response is very very Snappy and you've got okay so uh

11
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:51,559
yes I want to leave this video uh you've got what is basically a four-way

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:58,160
directional pad on the front with a play pause button as well as a back or menu

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:00,120
button so um then you flip it over to

14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:05,000
the other side and you've got a full keyboard you can use the alt button here

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:09,240
uh to access things like the at sign pound sign exclamation mark numbers all

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:14,520
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

17
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,799
directional pad the enter button play pause Etc here you can also use these

18
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:25,000
buttons so there's your menu there's your directional Keys there's your enter

19
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,320
pretty cool okay so here let's just go

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,439
uh back so this is in the most popular apps uh this is not in the repos

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:37,159
repository so just looking through some of the ones that are included uh

22
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:38,720
remember that um Netflix will be coming

23
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:42,960
before the end of the year so here you go some of the cool

24
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,119
stuff that's available now with the subscription for

25
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:53,880
I mean NHL is the one that I care about but with the subscription for uh for NHL

26
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,479
you can actually go ahead and uh uh

27
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:00,920
watch games that are outside of your area and it's a pretty cool stuffff so

28
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,960
let's see what in Cartoon Network I haven't actually installed this app see

29
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:09,440
it's that simple application installed successfully takes just about a minute

30
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:14,440
well less than a minute and then you can go ahead and check out what's in the uh

31
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:21,640
the various apps so uh hit down to browse okay oh boo okay well we can at

32
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:26,599
least check out games uh this is going to be one of the disadvantages I guess

33
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:31,720
in Canada is that not all of the content is going to be available here but if you

34
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,680
really want to watch cartoons never fear because there are other options so if

35
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:41,360
you go into the repositories I have taken the LI Liberty

36
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,640
of installing uh the navx as well as fuz

37
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,760
the D's third party repository so I had

38
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:52,000
found some uh some cartoons on this one so this is all unsupported unofficial

39
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:56,519
boxy content now the overall setup process for the boxy including uh

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:03,519
plugging it in and uh running a firmware update at the beginning and then

41
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:08,080
uh configuring it to run on my network probably took

42
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:16,920
about uh gee maybe 10 minutes hey cool there's a

43
00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:16,920
uh repository for XKCD who doesn't like

44
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,159
XKCD all kinds of neat stuff for this anyway the setup was very

45
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:31,680
straightforward and uh very very easy to use now if I could figure out how to

46
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:36,799
zoom in then that would probably be a good thing cuz it's pretty oh dear

47
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,000
Wiccan readers I understand modern wiccans are not usually all about the

48
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:45,200
curses and hexes but Darth Vader was recently converted as many is still

49
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:49,239
figuring it all out okay all right well let's go back let's find some of the

50
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:53,239
other uh apps in the repository here okay I'll I'll come back when I found

51
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:58,239
that uh cartoon one well I've got some good news and some bad news the uh the

52
00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:04,720
bad news is that most of the repositories in the fuz the D as well as

53
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:08,560
the other uh repository app that I had

54
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:11,439
are not really all that applicable for

55
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:16,600
Canadians um the good news is that the boxy is still a very competent media

56
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:20,759
streamer across your local network so I'm just going to go ahead and uh show

57
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:26,000
you guys one of the things that I did set up so if I go into movies and the

58
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:30,560
navigation so intuitive actually if I go into movies and just click all it'll

59
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,800
actually just grab all the movies on my Home

60
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:44,639
Server oh no these aren't for my Home Server never mind uh oh I wanted to show

61
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:50,240
you the local content okay so there I go to files ha oh wait no

62
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:58,120
okay here we go files

63
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:00,759
movies aha so that just pulls all of the

64
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:05,360
cover art as well as the files from all the movies on my home server and then I

65
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:09,120
can also go to shows and it'll pull down all the shows from my home server so at

66
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:16,000
least in the meantime while we get some more content here in Canada it's uh

67
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:22,520
pretty effective for sorting through all of your video

68
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:22,520
files and playing

69
00:05:22,919 --> 00:05:31,120
them it does play 1080p HD files over

70
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:34,319
the network which is pretty cool and uh

71
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:37,080
yeah so I mean it does it's not perfect

72
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:41,880
yet for Canadians but there is definitely a lot of potential here

73
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:45,360
thanks for checking out my video first

74
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,720
look at the dlink boxy box oh yeah I

75
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:53,880
wanted to show you guys one of the cool things I found in navx uh they have a

76
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,319
YouTube app and if I go to Canada I can

77
00:05:53,880 --> 00:06:04,360
see Canadian YouTube content and then I can find the most disgusted from today

78
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:06,479
and and I will find my video about

79
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:11,599
whether or not a tinfoil hat blocks your brain waves from being read by the

80
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:17,720
government oh I clicked the wrong one oh I'm watching Justin Bieber not what I

81
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,639
meant to do no leave please aha the boxy

82
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:24,919
can uh close content that you didn't mean to watch very quickly excellent

83
00:06:22,919 --> 00:06:28,479
excellent feature so there we go do tinfoil hats really block your brain

84
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,000
waves and it starts playing YouTube videos fairly quickly I'm even uploading

85
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,560
videos right now so that's how quickly it's able to buffer and start playing
