In my humble opinion until the producers of such appliances learn honesty through pain, it's much better to have a pirate streambox (with something like torrentflix or Popcorn Time or whatever, I just download torrents and watch on my laptop, so don't use these things).

what is a streambox?

A pc or android running Plex and or Kodi on the front end.

That's just a normal Media PC.

I think they are referring specifically to a PC that streams from those crappy streaming sites and not downloading the movies locally.

You can do that with Kodi but not Plex.
