The interface could be a little nicer. I would love to be able to have some sort of cover view (album art, poster art) when looking at my files. It's pretty boring to just look at a list of movies.I think it would be cool if it was skinnable, so that you could download different themes, made by other users.
The biggest problem to me is that it really never turns off. I understand that most electronics just switch to a standby mode, but the Popcorn Hour does a pretty poor job. The video output turns off, but that's about it, since the power consumption stays about the same as when it's "on."
I'd also like to install a SATA drive internally, instead of just a PATA one.
Oh, and I also wish they had USB ports on the back. Having them located just in the front takes away from the aesthetics when using any type of external device.
