The sibling is right: For me it's a Pi(2) right now. I'm fine with any box, but expect to have just _one_ box and want a generic thing. Runs Linux, I have full access & control? Fine. I don't own a console. I don't buy ~special~ hardware (Apple TV, Fire TV etc.) and don't use Chrome at all/see no value in a Chromecast. So, given a Linux machine connected via HDMI trying to play Netflix seems to be .. gambling. Might work with unofficial clients, probably using Flash? Maybe? It might be worth trying Netflix, since that's billed monthly, I can use the free first month to fiddle around aimlessly until it might work somehow and when it breaks I'll just cancel. Amazon bills for a year, and since there's no officially supported way for me to use the service I .. won't even try to use that. Too much effort.
