It's time to unleash your HDTV

Note: we can only ship this product to UK customers.

Conveniently play all your digital media (video, audio and photos) through your HD-ready television. You can stream media that is stored on an internal HDD (not included), from USB device or from a shared location on your home network. The A-210 is the newest Networked Media Jukebox (NMJ) from award-winning Popcorn Hour. High definition video has never looked this good! The A-210 supports virtually every video format in the market with better than blu-ray high quality pictures and more than 100Mbps bit-rate support. Start to amaze your friends today with crystal sharp and smooth as silk movies. The A-210 repackages Popcorn Hour's top-selling A-200 hardware in a bigger stylish aluminum case, which keeps the electronics cool passively, so the slightly noisy fan found in the A-200 is no longer required.

The Original Networked Media Jukebox

The A-210 comes pre-loaded with the industry's most user-friendly jukebox interface. No additional or complicated software setup is needed. The networked media jukebox (NMJ) automatically scans your media sources and downloads useful information such as cover-art, movie synopsis, casts and director.

The Popcorn Hour Apps Market - YouTube and BBC iPlayer

Another first in the industry, Popcorn Hour has its own Apps Market. Watch global news, listen to internet radio, keep in touch with your friends on Twitter or Facebook. The popular must-have apps are free: YouTube and the long-awaited BBC iPlayer app. Make the most of YouTube on your TV and catchup on seven days of BBC television with selected programmes in HD.

Control your A-210 from your smart phone

The EyeconController is a free app available from the AppStore and Android market, so that you can manage the media playing on your PopcornHour from your Android, iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. Searching YouTube can be time-consuming using the remote control, but it's a breeze on the EyeconController app. Simply drag 'n' drop videos or photos to play them on your TV.

A-210 as BitTorrent client

Are you a user of peer-to-peer (p2p) BitTorrent services? Turn off your power hungry PC, switch on the BitTorrent client installed on your A-210's internal HDD (not included) and manage your torrents with this energy-efficient Popcorn Hour device. Watching your downloaded video content couldn't be any more convenient. No more awkward temporary connections between computer and TV. A better solution than an Xvid-compatible DVD player that never seems capable of playing all your video files.

The A-210 as file-server

Turn your Popcorn Hour A-210 into a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device or Universal Plug 'n' Play (uPNP) Server with the Popcorn Hour's server applications. Share the content on the A-210's internal HDD (not included) on your home network. No complicated setup is required - just hook up an hard disk drive (HDD) and run the application installation wizard.

Multiple codec and file container support

One of the major benefits of a Media Player over a Home Theatre PC (HTPC) is that you never have to keep track of software or codec updates. Right now, the Popcorn Hour A-210 supports virtually every known file codec or container in the market. Their software engineers have a great track record keeping the A-200 up to date.

Firmware and Community

With over 40,000 users in the Popcorn Hour community forum, getting help is almost instant should you need any. Popcorn Hour's team of software engineers and developers frequently produce new firmware releases with new features and support for additional media formats and codecs.
