Recommendations for cheap TV boxes for streaming / casting?
TLDR - TV is not smart. Laptop is a POS that I only turn on in desperation. Money is low. Looking for some recommendations for a cheap TV box that supports casting from my phone, or/& can navigate streaming sites natively like the ones listed on 'fmhy'. Also would be cool if it had USB support if possible, to plug my HDDs into, but not a deal breaker. TIA!
Short story long -
Been sailing the seas since I was a kid, but have fell into a stale habit of researching, downloading, finding subtitles, renaming subtitles, copying to USB Drive or HDD, plugging into TV etc. Really burnt out on it lately & am tired of amassing so much stuff across so many HDDs & USB drives. My TV is not smart, so doesn't support casting or anything built in. My current laptop is also a 'rescue' laptop given to me by an uncle after he spilt coffee all over it & broke the casing trying to open it (it's an absolute wreck, but I managed to dry it out and change a few parts & get it working again, but everything about it is a wreck, headphone jack, charger falling apart, battery, needs to stay plugged in all the time etc). Just looking for cheap recommendations for TV boxes that are able to stream from sites like the ones listed on 'fmhy' & also support casting from my phone. It would also be cool if it had USB support to plug my HDDs into & download information for all my films like, covers, plot summary etc. Thanks in advance & sorry if this question has been asked a million times before.
