Myka + BitTorrent = TorrentTV

You can connect to the internet via LAN or WiFi, it has HDMI, Composite, S-Video and SPDIF ports (nice), your choice of 80, 160 or 500 gigabytes (and USB expansion) and the Linux OS with pre-installed BitTorrent software. You can even transfer videos directly from your computer. Prices are going to fall between $299 and $459, which is more than the Apple TV, but something tells me that there is some built-in value there.
looks promising, no?

This looks like it might be a decent alternative to the SnappleTV and is already more promising then that Vududevice ever was. I'd like to see what the UI looks like for this though. That (among other things) could make or break this system.
