I wish there was a stream only hardware box we could get that I can plug into my TV. Maybe they could port the stream receiver to Android?

Not sure if your comment is tongue in cheek, but if not, or for others that do actually have the same thought there are options.

SteamOS http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/ and http://store.steampowered.com/steamos/ will allow for building your own box and they've got third parties working on a "broad range" of hardware options that will come pre-installed with the OS.

True, but on order to be really useful, an ARM option would be needed. Just think, a 30 dollar RaspberryPi with a bluetooth dongle popped in the back of your TV and you will be able to play any of your Windows games.
