What is the point of a stream box?

Can anyone explain what the stream box does that my tv apps do not? I have just moved house and my 360 boxes have been replaced with stream boxes, now I can’t record and have to watch all the ads. As well as this if I try to watch a program that is currently live I can’t watch it from the start but if I go into the app on my tv I can watch from the start. It seems the stream box just makes life harder and you have to pay extra for it! Definitely cancelling as soon as I can.

    virgin 360 is older tech  so the stream box is to give a fast tv streaming serivce and less cost in keeping the network   updated

      A 1980s VHS tape recorder is more advanced than the steam box. Dig it out of the loft. It records and fast forwards through ads, Clever eh? Bet VM wish they'd thought of it  :)
