I think the fact that regular stores are now stocking high-seas set top boxes is more proof that streaming is too overpriced now and media companies are too greedy.
Back in the heyday of torrents and burnable optical disks, retail DVD players could usually play random video files procured from the high seas.
I don't think they're stocking these boxes. A lot of retailers let anyone list products on their website - just as Amazon allows third party sellers to list products. The one I found on BestBuy's website says "Sold & shipped by Evolution Blazed Inc"
