I do have a popcorn hour. I'm more so convincing myself that its going to be good. I'm not saying my popcorn hour is bad, but it has been a bit disappointing in ways. Just for example, if you turn it off the only way to turn it back on again is to unplug it from the wall. As for torrents, transmission has been compiled to work on it (by some users over at networkedmediatank.com). Since I know it works on my popcorn hour, I'm almost positive it will work on Myka. Essentially Myka, the popcorn hour, HDX, the egreat, they are all the same with different cases. The PCH, HDX and egreat even have the exact same interface. Myka seems to be the only company stepping it up, with for example, EZ takes, and building their own interface. To be that shows comitment. P.S. I didn't know about how they had taken orders and disappeared before I ordered one, but as far as I can tell everything is on track. Should I report back when I receive it? In their forums MykaGuru stated that the developers box was similar to the consumer (originally the developers box was going to be clunky) Well, I haven’t tried a Myka so I don’t know for sure.

The consumer units haven't shipped yet and no-one who has handed over money has received their device yet! I suspect you are a Myka shill and that disappoints me greatly Joe, how the heck can you report that device works well when only 2 or 3 test devices have been made so far?

I'm thinking theres some good stuff on the way. I just checked out EZ Takes too, there are actually a couple of main stream movies, certainly worth watching. I wouldn't worry about download torrents straight from the box, trust me, it works ;) And well I might add. Who needs the pc? If your worried about space, why not buy the 1TB developers box? Words out the developers case is almost identical to the consumer box. Although, I would trade the 1TB for the Black Widow Version any day!

I will probably stick with its legal cousin VUDU. I wonder what the quality of movies from eztakes is on the actual box. I can't really find anything better than HDX on VUDU.
