All of my media is on a DIY NAS on the local network. Very occasionally I stream sports on it. Usually it will be used to play music/videos.
Should I go for Chromebox (and which brand) or Fire TV ?
EDIT:
I forgot to add, I prefer a full on XBMC install. Currently I am using OpenELEC, and wish to have a system which boots to XBMC (or a fork) directly, rather than messing about.
Chromebox. The Chromebox is the official replacement for ION anything.
And you can run XBMCbuntu on one. I do. Very little difference between that an Openelec though. Unless you know Linux I think Openelec has clear advantages like GUI wifi support.
