My current tv is so old that the netlfix app isn't supported anymore. From an usb stick it can only play h.264 videos so I always have to run them through hand brake first. That is why I want to buy an streaming box. Preferably under 50€

Alternatively if someone knows about a blu ray player under 100€ which can do all of the above plus play blu ray dvds please recommend me one :)

Can I chime in for another question? What is the cheapest way to watch physical 4K UHD blueray?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

If you already have a PC the cheapest way would be to get one of the 4k drives that can be flashed (https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19634)

You can then either rip your blu-rays via MakeMKV directly or play them in VLC/Kodi via libmmbd.

I don't think the PS3 has a UHD drive (or can output 4k).

Hmm, you seem to be right. I haven't used mine in a long time but knew it has a blu ray drive.
