Myka Launches Intel Atom Processor-Based Over-the-Top STB Device

,----[ Quote ]
| The company, which has set up an open source 
| developer community on its Web site, claims 
| to have designed its platform to encourage 
| third-party development: "We went with 
| Linux," the company states on its site. 
| "Although it has been optimized for a set-top 
| box environment, it still offers the tools 
| and extensibility you would expect from 
| Linux. Our middleware and communication 
| layers are PHP.

Myka's Linux-based BitTorrent box great home theater PC for lazy people

,----[ Quote ]
| With as many set-top boxes as there suddenly appear to be in the home video
| market, as long as any one of them has a strong central feature, it could be
| the one that becomes a household name. Look at TiVo, Slingbox, and AppleTV:
| Each of these built a TV-based ecosystem around a single unique feature:
| TiVo's was the DVR, Slingbox was the place-shifting concept, and AppleTV was
| iTunes.
|
| Now, IPTV startup Myka has designed its own media center STB, focusing on
| BitTorrent as its winning central feature. And while it doesn't carry all the
| functions one would expect in a home theater PC (HTPC), it offers enough
| power and functionality to be considered a little more than your
| run-of-the-mill set top box. Like the title says, if you're a little bit
| lazy...you could even consider Myka a pre-built HTPC. Betanews got an
| exclusive look at this new device.

Myka open-source media player takes on Apple TV

,----[ Quote ]
| Attempting to take on the Apple TV comes Myka, an open-source digital media
| receiver that trades movie studio approval for a standalone BitTorrent client
| and more A/V codec support than you could shake a metaphorical stick at.
| Packing hard-drives up to 500GB in capacity, the compact box also supports
| remote access from any internet-enabled PC or cellphone.
