Myka ION HD Player delivers Hulu and Boxee |
Myka is bringing Hulu, Boxee and NVIDIA ION graphics to the table with the Myka ION. Apparently, Myka goes beyond Hulu and Boxee allowing you to run other full PC applications like XBMC and “browse to any web site and play video content directly onto your TV.”
The base model of the ION is available now for $379. (Wireless-N and Blu-ray add ons will up that price to $644) Under the hood you’ll find a 1.6GHz dual-core Atom 330 CPU, up to 4GB of RAM, ten USB 2.0 ports, VGA / DVI / HDMI outputs, an eSATA connector, Ethernet and plenty of audio outputs.


I watch my share of online video and my video streaming site of choice isn’t YouTube. I don’t care much for videos produced by people with the cheapest cameras they can get their hands on. I prefer full length professionally made TV shows and movies like Hulu provides.
I am a big Hulu fan; I often use the site to watch old TV shows like A-Team and Airwolf with my kids. Typically, the old shows I loved so much as a kid are not as cool now as they were then, I wish they would remake A-Team as a series like they did Battlestar Galactica.
Looks like we may soon be getting another network’s content on Hulu sometime very soon. Supposedly Disney is discussing the possibility of sharing their ABC TV shows on the website. Some other Disney-owned shows might make it over as well. What this means is that you’ll be able to catch up on everything you missed on LOST and maybe also check out all your favorite High School Musical type programs. Yeah, sure you don’t watch them.
The latest from Neuros is the Neuros LINK, which will let you watch videos from places like Hulu, YouTube and the like on your TV, subscription free, through courtesy of their own TV service. However, the LINK doesn’t appear to have any internal storage. It does boast six USB ports so you can attach your own drives that have photos, video or music. You’ll also get HDMI and optical S/PDIF outputs, a gigabit ethernet, 802.11b/g WiFi, and an included wireless “keymote” with trackball. The device is available now for $300, but it’s still in a “gamma release,” so early adopters can get one in exchange for a few bugs.
