00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:08.360
here is the boxy protruding from the table that I've propped my television on

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

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

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

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:24.840
simple I have an Ethernet cable plugged into my power line Ethernet which goes

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

00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:32.320
video and then I have a power now one of

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:38.520
the first things I noticed about the boxy besides the cool glowing green logo

00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:41.280
on the front is that the remote is

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

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

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

00:00:54.640 --> 00:01:00.120
button so um then you flip it over to

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

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:09.240
uh to access things like the at sign pound sign exclamation mark numbers all

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

00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:18.799
directional pad the enter button play pause Etc here you can also use these

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:25.000
buttons so there's your menu there's your directional Keys there's your enter

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:27.320
pretty cool okay so here let's just go

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

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:37.159
repository so just looking through some of the ones that are included uh

00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:38.720
remember that um Netflix will be coming

00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:42.960
before the end of the year so here you go some of the cool

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:47.119
stuff that's available now with the subscription for

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

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.479
you can actually go ahead and uh uh

00:01:53.880 --> 00:02:00.920
watch games that are outside of your area and it's a pretty cool stuffff so

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:04.960
let's see what in Cartoon Network I haven't actually installed this app see

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:09.440
it's that simple application installed successfully takes just about a minute

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

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

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:26.599
least check out games uh this is going to be one of the disadvantages I guess

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

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:35.680
really want to watch cartoons never fear because there are other options so if

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:41.360
you go into the repositories I have taken the LI Liberty

00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:44.640
of installing uh the navx as well as fuz

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:46.760
the D's third party repository so I had

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:52.000
found some uh some cartoons on this one so this is all unsupported unofficial

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:56.519
boxy content now the overall setup process for the boxy including uh

00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:03.519
plugging it in and uh running a firmware update at the beginning and then

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:08.080
uh configuring it to run on my network probably took

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:16.920
about uh gee maybe 10 minutes hey cool there's a

00:03:11.959 --> 00:03:16.920
uh repository for XKCD who doesn't like

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:27.159
XKCD all kinds of neat stuff for this anyway the setup was very

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:31.680
straightforward and uh very very easy to use now if I could figure out how to

00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:36.799
zoom in then that would probably be a good thing cuz it's pretty oh dear

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:40.000
Wiccan readers I understand modern wiccans are not usually all about the

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:45.200
curses and hexes but Darth Vader was recently converted as many is still

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

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

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

00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:04.720
bad news is that most of the repositories in the fuz the D as well as

00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:08.560
the other uh repository app that I had

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:11.439
are not really all that applicable for

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:16.600
Canadians um the good news is that the boxy is still a very competent media

00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:20.759
streamer across your local network so I'm just going to go ahead and uh show

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

00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:30.560
navigation so intuitive actually if I go into movies and just click all it'll

00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:32.800
actually just grab all the movies on my Home

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

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:50.240
you the local content okay so there I go to files ha oh wait no

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:58.120
okay here we go files

00:04:54.479 --> 00:05:00.759
movies aha so that just pulls all of the

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

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

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:16.000
least in the meantime while we get some more content here in Canada it's uh

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:22.520
pretty effective for sorting through all of your video

00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.520
files and playing

00:05:22.919 --> 00:05:31.120
them it does play 1080p HD files over

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:34.319
the network which is pretty cool and uh

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:37.080
yeah so I mean it does it's not perfect

00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:41.880
yet for Canadians but there is definitely a lot of potential here

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:45.360
thanks for checking out my video first

00:05:41.880 --> 00:05:46.720
look at the dlink boxy box oh yeah I

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

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:56.319
YouTube app and if I go to Canada I can

00:05:53.880 --> 00:06:04.360
see Canadian YouTube content and then I can find the most disgusted from today

00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:06.479
and and I will find my video about

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:11.599
whether or not a tinfoil hat blocks your brain waves from being read by the

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:17.720
government oh I clicked the wrong one oh I'm watching Justin Bieber not what I

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:19.639
meant to do no leave please aha the boxy

00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:24.919
can uh close content that you didn't mean to watch very quickly excellent

00:06:22.919 --> 00:06:28.479
excellent feature so there we go do tinfoil hats really block your brain

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:32.000
waves and it starts playing YouTube videos fairly quickly I'm even uploading

00:06:30.520 --> 00:06:36.560
videos right now so that's how quickly it's able to buffer and start playing
