Also advantage with streaming boxes over windows pc no unsecure flash player needed or clunky silverlight.
I have both a ROKU1 and firetv box but still have my pc connected to my tv, the pc is for most on demand stuff as i use USA services i use adblock+ to block the adverts,for uk services all4 and itv player don't allow adblock to be used but demand 5 is ok with it,for the roku1 and firetv box are used for netflix and nowtv.
I do have plusnet tv but that is mostly for syfy and discovery there is no ariel connected to my tv or youview box.
