Looking for some input on hardware. I want to buy or build a box for my in-laws that will run only XBMC (okay, Kodi) with live streaming of foreign channels, many of which are HD. They just want to switch on and do whatever they do with a remote.
I can do the hardware / software myself, just want to know from your experience, what are my best options in regards to picture quality and stability (being as trouble free as possible is a must for these folks, otherwise I'll be their first call :-) at under $250ish?
I'm open to all options from a Chromebox and Android box, to Fire TV and a NUC-style mini pc running Openelec or XBMCbuntu as long it meet the above requirements.
