Is it that the hardware isn't quite up to the job of what the software is trying to do?
Using your analogy, i have a 5 year old PC but if i try to do on that what you could do on a brand new PC i'd probably end up throwing it out of the window in frustration.

The difference being the primary use. The software being released on the PC now has more features, better graphics etc, so requires more power. What you do on an STB now (essentially watching/recording TV and maybe viewing apps) hasn't really changed in 5 years.
