A reader received a note from Myka, makers of the bittorrent downloading TV box. It states:
We planned to start shipping the product last summer, but unfortunately we were caught up in the largest financial crisis in the last 70 years. Despite a tremendous response (we had over 150,000 visitors to the website, 600 news articles and a healthy backlog of sales), we were unable to close the financing required to begin production.
I am pleased to announce that is all behind us now. The factory in China is humming. We are eagerly awaiting our first shipments due to arrive in 4 to 6 weeks.
As you’ll recall, the Myka is basically a box that downloads video over Bittorrent and then plays it back on your TV.
It comes in 80, 160 or 500GB units that connects directly to the Internet and your TV. The Bit Torrent protocol is built-in so it automagically downloads your videos or you can transfer videos from your desktop/laptop. Sort of like Sling, you can access your Myka from anywhere so long as you have an Internet connection. Prices range from $299 to $459 and are currently slated to begin shipping in the summer.
Their forum is like … totally spammed
I’m Dan Lovy, chief cook and bottle washer at Myka. Just spent a lovely evening cleaning out the forum.
YES, the factory is springing to life.
Have you ordered your MYKA today?
Yay! now to sit and wait for my ISP provider to provide some decent speed?

a bt box? just a name, i suppose. pointless in a way if your isp throttles your speed
Dan…
Since you’re reading this but don’t respond to our emails, maybe you could pay us the advertising money you still owe us (and other sites) from 2008?

LMAO, it’s more expensive than a pc.
Total scam indeed
Dan,
You need to put some confidence into the very consumers who will be willing to churn out such high amounts for a ‘torrent box’.
The fact that you have been completely unresponsive to the comments in ur forum or have not come out with any updates or public announcement from mid 2008 onwards does not serve will with consumers.
There are just too many scams around and we still don’t see a solid commitment from ur side.
And by the way.. what abt the comments from torrentfreak and their article? Why don’t u provide some response instead of keeping mum….that too does not go well with your prospective customers !!!
“Huzzah! The Myka Torrent-box is shipping”
mmmm…., no it’s not.
how much does it cost?

Ok, its May now…..
So where the hell is it? People are asking in the Myka forums why they have paid for Myka but have received nothing and they arent getting any answers
Просто отлично! Все очень толково и грамотно, и в то же время без умствований и самолюбования, и на доступном языке. Редкий случай когда человек делится актуальной и полезной инфой. Спасибо автору!
