Page 2 of 4 What You Get True to form what arrived at the door was an inconspicuous UPS box. Inside was nothing more than...another unadorned cardboard box. Clearly FyreTV understands the value of the "little brown rapper" approach here, so sneaking this under the radar of suspicious neighbors, spouses, or offspring should be no problem. 
"The Hottest BoXXX You'll Ever Experience" Cough, cough......oooooook! Being a "beta" unit and a beta service there was absolutely no documentation included whatsoever, a situation likely to change once the product and service are officially released. FyreTV's support has made available a Users Guide for beta testers , available online, that should be similar to the documentation included with retail units. Inside the slick packaging you get the following...
You're far more likely to get emotionally scarred from shopping for a cheap HDMI cable at retail, than any video you'd see on this service so the inclusion of an HDMI cable is an especially welcome touch. Still, the whole "uber special magical cable" argument (and the 1000% or more profit margins often associated with them) is one we'll save for another day. The unit itself is quite small and deliberately innocuous, with no branding or logos of any kind. The front face sports 3 LED's left-to-right indicationg Power, Network Activity, and IR activity. The units IR reciever is housed in the smoked lexan "swoop" along the front.
