Bittorrent Box: An Advancement or Just Apple Tv in a New Skin?

Myka has just released information about a tv set-top box that has some people wondering if we’ll really want anything else, much less need. They have introduced the first ever BitTorrent Set-Top Box that will allow high quality content to just flow throughout the web based on your selections, not bad. Myka has a great advantage through BitTorent as they already have existing relationships with major content producers , which will boost Myka’s popularity.

Apple TV offers high quality content through its iTunes platform. Not necessarily a bad thing considering they do deliver a fluid system that works well. You can pair it to any Mac or PC to wirelessly sync and stream content.
