I have been using the Popcorn Hour A-110 to watch YouTube videos on my television. YouTube video access via the YouTube api will be discontinued on 12-2-2009. Maybe someone will make a hack?
I have my A-110 configured purely as a streaming device. It can see all of my computers and all of my NAS's. I have no trouble streaming anything - even HD material of the highest quality - with 1080p video and surround sound. Feel free to add your experience with or without a hard drive...

Hi, has anyone tried to connect an external HDD to one of the usb-ports of this device and use it as a Time Machine backup? Does it work (for serveral computers via wlan)?
I've been using a couple of Apple TVs that I hacked to mount an NFS share and play a variety of video formats. Of course, both of my Apple TVs died and now I'm looking for replacements. I thoughts that the Popcorn Hour might be a nice replacement since it supports everything out of the box. I don't mind SSH or getting down and dirty at the command line, but I figure why not support a company that is working hard to provide everything. What do you think of the interface on the Popcorn...

I know Popcorn Hour has its own software for organizing and sharing your media on a network available on their website but I don't know if its worth messing with. I already use PS3MediaServer for my UPnP serving needs and I wanted to know if this software offered any benefits.....
Has anyone used any of these Popcorn Hour devices with the wireless adapter (the WN-100) thats available on the website? I am curious because usually I don't like wireless streaming to my media adapters/extenders, especially when its in HD (which these Popcorn Hour boxes are great for). I was at first very happy to read that the wireless adapters they sell are wireless N compatible, so I thought they would support very robust speeds. Then, on their own website, there is an asterisk stating...
