Thanks for that, Jhieminga! I think you have hit the nail on the head. I've just read the specs and some reviews and this seems to be a very close replacement for my "Iomega TV with Boxee" - if not identical for the functions I need and what I will actually use it for.

As a bonus it even has online streaming of subtitles - the one feature that is broken in the Iomega implementation of Boxee; it works perfectly well in my Boxee Box notionally running exactly the same firmware revision and is much appreciated by my non-English native wife.

I still intend to get a Pi for the "project" value but as an off the shelf one-box solution should the current device play up again I think I'm there.

Thanks again.
