XStream box is a much better choice. It has a better remote and interface. It has few issues with the audio, but if you don't use home theater they can be ignored. As this is a new box, the software is bound to get polished over time. Remember it took more than 2 years for the Internet TV to get this current update that fixes the lag issues, so the issues with XStream box will be resolved sooner as they already know what to do. The above suggestion is only for new users/existing normal SD/HD box users. If someone is already using an Internet TV, there is no reason for them to upgrade to the XStream box.
