How about a Windows box, whatever the form factor, and a HDMI cable?

I'd rather use my TVs flavor of android than Windows, honestly. I just don't see what that would buy me.

I get running a Linux media server, don't get me wrong. But a dedicated windows machine for my TV seems like a waste of time and money when my TV can already do whatever that box would. It buys me very little.
