Lack of DTS-HD is a big hole in any modern media setup.
In fact I would take the opposite view to you on both points - DTS-HD absolutely necessary, attaching an external hard drive completely unnecessary because all you media should be stored on your server/nas where all your clients can use it.
But no device can be all things to all men.
Not sure what you mean by overloading either?

4TB HD sometimes require a decent powered device to read it, and I thought maybe TLBB with several of them hooked up maybe couldn't handle it.
Yeah, I didn't really want to spend the money on a NAS when I only wanted my TV Shows/Movies to be accessed and played through my TV.

Are you talking about drives powered by the USB bus?
You will want a single machine with all the storage in it until you get another TV...

I noticed the remote is RF is there any support for IR so us that use universals can program our Harmony remotes? I noticed another comment says it has a built in IR receiver, if so what device would it be programed in the Harmony setup?
Thanks

Sounds like it is just RF, but that the inbuilt IR will work too if you want to use an IR remote.

Indeed, the remote is RF only. As most remotes delivered with the STB's are not meeting our standards, we decided to integrate our own decision. The IR receiver however is still be there. At the moment we have implemented the IR remote configuration of the same remote delivered with many Android M3 Amlogic boxes.
This Android boxes are sold all over the world under different brands. The most "famous" one is the GBox Midnight.
In the near future we will look into a configuration setting within XBMC from where you can choose a specific remote control. Think of Apple's TV remote, Logitech, etc (At this moment you can already do this manually if you want)

Certainly looks like they are. I think they're the same people as the ones behind myhtpc
Indeed, they are official reseller.

The Little Black Box does not do 24p.
Hardware wise it could do it, but the drivers have just not been altered for it. As Amlogic's focus is/was purely on Android, it just hasn't been implemented. (Android GUI does not need 24p)
