 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the PBO Alpine. So this is the successor to the immensely popular Patriot box office. So you can see here up in the corner it is powered by Android 2.2, although it should be you gotta bear in mind that you can't necessarily install you know Angry Birds on it or anything like that, but it is still compatible with apps whether developed by Patriot or whether developed by end users who want to enable more functionality on the device. So you can use apps but not necessarily the entire marketplace like you can use on your phone because most of the apps require a touch screen which is obviously not present. So this is a full HD media player, yes it is compatible with 1080p, it better be at this point. It has YouTube, HDMI, it has DTS as well as Dolby Digital. Let's go ahead and flip it around. So full HD all in one media player, built over the Android 2.2 OS, frees your digital media library from the constraints of a PC and bridges digital media to your home and entertainment system and brings your entire media library to the comfort of your living room. Now one of the things that was so great about Patriot box office was the huge compatibility with file formats and we've seen a continuation of that with the PBO Alpine and that's one of the things that Patriot will continue to work on in order to make it as useful as possible. With a variety of different video formats, different containers, images, audio and you can see there's a little bit of information about the hardware here. So it has an ARM CPU up to 500 megahertz, two USB 2.0 ports, works with a keyboard and mouse which is kind of neat, as well as HDMI 1.3B output so you can't do native 3D, just something to remember guys. Optional WiFi with a USB adapter that is sold separately. So let's go ahead and open it up and see what we can see. One of the things you'll notice about it compared to the original box office is that it is very very small, which is fantastic if you want to use it for something like digital signage for example. So you can just mount it somewhere discreet and out of the way without worrying about anyone walking off with it. It's also good if you just want an overall clean looking media PC area so you don't have to have some huge clunky box cluttering things up. Now the drawback of that is that it isn't unfortunately compatible with adding an internal hard drive, but for the smaller size I guess we'll have to live with that. So inside the box we have an AC adapter, an HDMI cable, a user manual on disc, as well as a remote. So the remote has all of your basic functionality, navigation, enter, play, stop, forward, back, other more different, forward, back, menu, info, subtitles and audio, power, volume, and that pretty much does it. Now in terms of interface, Patriot is actually taking a fairly unique approach with this where they have kind of a stock, more basic firmware that is going to be designed for if your grandma wants to watch Korean soaps and you don't want to be dealing with it every other day going over there and helping her figure it out. You just give her the stock firmware, here you go grandma, enjoy. You set up the network share once for her because she probably is going to have trouble with that. And it can actually, ah yes this diagram is useful, it can pull media from a variety of different sources whether it's wired or over wireless, whether it's mobile or a UPnP or DLNA compatible device or even a PC. Sorry where was I going with that? Right, so they have the easy firmware for grandma and then if you want Patriot is also developing in parallel a more enthusiast friendly stream where they're going to be reaching out to the community and finding out what they want out of this because again that was one of the things that was great about the box office was that they continued to update the functionality over time. So if you're an enthusiast that's the one you're going to want to go for. Now on the outside we see not a whole lot because this is a very very small device so you've got a few little logos there, you've got your SD card as well as your USB, remember you can play media directly off of something plugged into the PBO Alpine, you don't necessarily have to play over the network. Also got an indicator here on the back, we've got our AD out so you'll need an adapter for that guy, USB, HDMI out, most like 99.9% of people are probably going to be using this, ethernet as well as power in. So that pretty much covers it, that's our basic overview. It's pretty simple to use in its stock configuration, here's their entire quick install guide, connect HDMI, plug in power, connect to something and don't forget to enjoy.
