It's Popcorn Hour part 2

I was so eager to post about my Popcorn Hour unit that I forgot to explain what it is. It's basically a Media Player. So what does it do? Well, if you have media in your PC (e.g. videos, music, pictures, etc.) then this baby can play it and display it on your TV. So what? you might ask. Well, the advantage of having one is, you don't have to turn your computer on just to look at your pictures, your videos and listen to your music, this is a small device and has a very small power consumption, unlike most CPUs.

This is recommended to those individuals that has an HDTV in the house. Just imagine viewing your vacation pictures and watching your home videos in Hi-Def on your HDTV! Wonderful isn't it? Definitely! But videos are not limited to the ones made by you, you can also rip your DVDs and either stream it from your PC or store it in the Popcorn Hour itself. This way, you don't have to stand up and look for the physical disc everytime you feel like watching a movie from your collection. All you have to do is turn the Popcorn Hour on and watch until your eye pop out!

Then there's the add-on. A very big add-on at that! It is a stand-alone torrent downloader. If you're the type who loves to watch shows from the Internet (DLTV, Diggnation, Tekzilla) then this one is for you (and did I mention that you can watch these shows in HD?). Again, you don't have to boot up your PC just to watch these shows, just leave the Popcorn Hour do it's job and you'll have tons of fun and excitement everytime.
