Back in March of 2008, we reported that Myka created a BitTorrent box that was capable of directly receiving your Torrent downloads and replaying them on a TV.  It’s a competitor to Apple TV, and people who torrent a lot would definitely like the Myka box.  When the product was announced back in March, it was set to start shipping in the summer, but nearly half a year later, it looks like that time has come.

Myka was having trouble meeting financial deadlines, so the had to put the Myka operation to a halt until recently.  They got their factory based in China running again and users who ordered a Myka should expect their unit within 4-6 weeks.  The Myka receives direct torrent downloads using LAN, or Wi-Fi, and it’s preloaded BitTorrent software, and it can connect to your TV using Composite, S-Video, or SPDIF.  The product sells in various models including an 80GB, 160GB, or 500GB model.  If you want to buy a Myka now, they cost $299, $349 or $459, respectively.
