 Here is the boxy protruding from the table that I've propped my television on so I've got NHL Game Center running here I'm just watching some highlights because I don't have a proper subscription to it 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 cable 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 the response is very very snappy, and you've got okay, so yes. I want to leave this video 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 Then you flip it over to the other side, and you've got a full keyboard You can use the alt button here 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 et cetera here You can also use these buttons, so there's your menu. There's your directional keys. There's your enter pretty Pretty cool, okay, so here. Let's just go back. So this is in the most popular apps This is not in the repository, so just looking through some of the ones that are included. I remember that 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 for NHL you can actually go ahead and Watch games that are outside of your area, and it's pretty cool stuff, so let's see what's 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 the various apps? So hit down to browse okay? Oh? Boo, okay, well we can at least check out games. 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 liberty of installing the NaviX as well as fuzz the D's third-party Repository so I had found some some cartoons on this one, so this is all unsupported unofficial boxy content now the overall setup process for the boxy including plugging it in and running a firmware update at the beginning and then Configuring it to run on my network probably took about ah gee Maybe ten minutes Hey cool. There's a repository for xkcd. Who doesn't like xkcd? All kinds of neat stuff for this anyway the setup was very straightforward and Very very easy to use now if I could figure out how to zoom in and that would probably be a good thing Because it's pretty hard. 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 Apps in the repository here, okay. I'll come back when I found that cartoon one Well, I've got some good news and some bad news the the bad news is that most of the repositories in the fuzz the D as well as the other Repository app that I had are not really all that applicable for Canadians 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 show you guys one of the things that I did set up So if I go into movies and the navigation is 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 I wanted to show you the local content. Okay, so there I go to files Ha 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 can't uh It's not perfect yet for Canadians, but there is definitely a lot of potential here. Thanks for checking out my Video files First look at the d-link boxy box. Oh, yeah, I wanted to show you guys one of the cool things I found in navi x They have a youtube App and if I go to Canada I can see Canadian youtube content and then I can find the most discussed from today And I will find my video About whether or not I'm going to be able to find my video 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 Do tinfoil hats really block your brain waves and it starts playing youtube videos fairly quickly and even uploading videos right now So that's how quickly it's able to buffer and start playing you
