Unboxing: New Toy for Geek or Logitech Revue AKA Google TV
I received a new toy, Logitech Revue AKA Google TV.
So far, I just managed to unpack it - today I bought the necessary cables to connect it to my home system.

I will write about the use later, but for now, if anyone is interested, unboxing or "what's in the box."
Immediately I apologize for the quality of the photos: I photographed on my Nexus One.
Opening the box we see the largest (in size) component of the device - a remote control or keyboard ;-)
In the box, it looks cumbersome, but really when you get it, you realize that it is practically “weightless” and “ultrathin”.
Side view (left hand for scale):
Front view:
Bottom view:
The keyboard is really convenient, although for those who find such a “remote” seem large, Logitech offers a smaller version for an additional 130 bucks ;-)
Under the keyboard is the device itself, a small instruction and a box with wires:
The device itself is quite compact and pretty, on the top is the manufacturer's logo (unfortunately not visible in the photo):
Front view:
Back view:
It is much more convenient to look at the ports on the manufacturer's page .- there they are all signed and an explanation of their purpose is given.
And the last photo-wires that come with the device:
Namely: HDMI cable; power supply unit (with American plug, but composite; the wire from the power supply unit to the outlet can be easily replaced with a European one), remote infrared receiver. While not connected, I understand the documentation. The blessing on the manufacturer's website is a lot of it, and a lot of “video lessons.
Understandably, due to the fact that the device is officially represented only in the United States, many services and applications will not be available to us. In addition, access to the Android Market is still closed - they promise to launch as soon as possible.
I will try to use it as:
a) Media player - it should understand both USB connected devices and the content available on DLNA devices. I have a terrabyte WD Book, I will experiment. It seems to be declared support for many codecs and file standards, including mkv.
b) It can receive video from a satellite receiver, but only via HDMI. I will try to connect it with my DreamBox via AV receiver.
c) Streaming content directly from the network, for example from ex.ua or VKontakte (in theory, there is flash support).
I will try to talk about success. Also, as far as possible, I will answer your questions.
PS If someone has an archive of files in different video codecs, I will be grateful for the link.
