Ottawa, ON | While this sounds cool, it may get sued out of existence...
This isn't the debate about an MP3 player. I highly doubt the *AA's will let this become a reality.

 If Myka attempts to bring a product to market, I expect to see the media Luddites attack Myka in an instant. Their lawyers will be on Myka like a school of Piranhas. |

Is this product offering something similar to this, except in a set-top box?

| I`d buy one !
This is exactly what I`ve been looking for, finally someone giving people what we really want (hopefully x264 support will be in the package soon 
Right now instead of burning DvDs or cds, I download xvid or divx tv serieas and movies using bittorrent. In order to play it back on my tv, I use a 4 gb pendrive plugged into my phillips dvd player. Although it works fine , I like the idea of a set top box better than my current setup.
I was thinking in building a htpc so I can get playback of all formats out there, but if a set top box will be selling shortly I might wait a little bit.
Note : It is not illegal to download bittorrent files in this country, as long as I dont sell and profit from it the local authorities wont be looking for me

Comcast users won't have this option as their pathetic, badly upgrade-needed network won't be able to handle this. |

Re: I`d buy one !
Actually I do live in Chile , and for your information I do block my uploads , that way I`m on the safe side . (besides my upload speed is a paltry 256 kbps.) |

Re: Check your ISP
Actually, here's where their Pay-Per-View programming department's "gift" of Sandvine hardware to its sibling ISP division begins to pay off -- cheap (and legal) video download services are the latter's "worst nightmare".

| There ARE Better Alternative
Build yourself a SFF PC w/ the board + enclosure you prefer using a fanless Via processor and either a 1.8", 2.5", or 3.5" HDD + Ubuntu + WINE/uTorrent or Azureus (yuk!) or ktorrent. You get a much better client that is more diffult for others to throttle and is adaptable/upgradeable. How long do you think Myka will last before folding, or whether it's "profitable" to constantly or ever update their buggy "firmware/software"?
At most it cost me $300 extra cuz most of us have memory/hdd already. |
