What's the benefit to having a dedicated HTPC versus using a media box such as Roku, Apple TV, NVidia Shield, etc? I've been using XBMC (now Kodi) since the original X-Box days. I originally replaced my X-Box with a dedicated HTPC (running XMBC/Kodi) because of HD playback, startup time, and other factors. I'm still using a dedicated HTPC (with Kodi) but I'm beginning to wonder why I don't switch to a media box. Previous media boxes were slow, didn't support 24 Hz playback or DTS-HD/AC3 passthrough, but it seems like a lot of them are now supporting everything. (especially the NVidia Shield I think?) A lot of them also support other things aren't even available in a dedicated HTPC like Hulu, Netflix, etc. So ... is it really worth using a dedicated box?
