Unbox: D-Link DSM-330 DivX Connected HD Mediaplayer

If you weren't aware, the first DivX Connected media player hit the market last month. We recently received our review unit and wanted to give you a quick unboxing before we go on with the review. We'll start with the features as listed at D-Link's website:
High Definition DivX Video
DivX Connected™ finally makes HD on your TV a reality with high-quality DivX video playback at up to HD 720p. Use HDMI (included) for the best quality or S-video, component or composite cables for your standard definition TV or HDTV.
Power to the PC
Leverage your PC power and enjoy fast, smooth, stutter-free video, music and photo playback in a rich, remote-controlled TV interface1, and add new functionality with a quick update to the DivX Connected server software. The DSM-330's only function is to stream media to your TV, making it infinitely scalable with add-on services3 and plug-ins.
Easy Setup
The installation wizard helps you connect the DSM-330 to your network and TV, as well as set up and scan your media. It comes with all necessary cables and DivX Converter--a simple software program4 to convert videos to the DivX format on your PC.
Foundation of Your Digital Home
Add the DSM-330 to your wired or wireless home network and access media from all your PCs, hard drives and the Internet. Stream music, photos and video using wireless 802.11g or an Ethernet connection and enjoy the high-quality media experience in your home theater.
We're currently working on the review but here's some images of the unboxing:
Here's a standard shot of the box for you.

As you can, there's quite a bit of documention included with the device.

A shot of the hardware still in the tray. There's also a few cables underneath the device.

Here's all of the hardware completely unboxed.

The first thing you'll notice about the DSM-330 is how it looks just like a standard D-Link router. We guess if the design works, stick with it.

The remote is pretty simple but nicely labeled.

The DSM-330 comes with your basic ports on the back.

Overall, the hardware isn't anything fancy but we're pretty excited to see how the DSM-330 performs, so we'll get a review out to you soon.
