Popcorn Hour A-100
Posted in Electronics on 01 Jul 2008 at 6:14 am
I placed an order for the Popcorn Hour after doing some research about it, seemed like a very interesting and intuitive product. Streams all kinds of media to the TV through the network, and you can install a hard drive in it you want. The difficult part is that this product is on back order, I placed my order a while back and forgot about it.
After a month and half I come back from work to find this box in my room, only to rip it open to find that its the Popcorn Hour A-100. It is very small, compact, and has all the outputs for a any type of TV, and the best part is that it plays 1080P videos. It can play from an internal hard drive, USB attached drive, a network storage, and media across a network. I have some testing to do on it, I have some very heavy 1080P movies to test on it, and see its capabilities from there I can tell if its really all its cracked up to be.

A friend of mine has the Mvix box and he swears by it. I also heard that the Tvix box is also good!

Looks pretty sleek, let us know how it goes and how much it set you back.
I have the MVIX and that’s also pretty neat. Only problem is that my version doesn’t have support an external USB drive so I have to rely on the one inside and transfer all my files through USB (no wireless).
