My father considers buying an Android TV box. Initially, I thought that's a bad choice as a mini pc has much greater capabilities and control.

However, he does have a point that Android TV boxes are cheaper (~60) and work with tv cable which most mini PCs don't have a connector for.

What are your thoughts on this?

android tv might indeed be good. something like nvidia shield tv that is officially google certified for those drm bs...

afaik those torrent streaming stuff are based on leeching, i believe having a proper seedbox+jellyfin is a much better choice
