My workplace is giving old mini PCs to the employees. I put a linux distro on that and use it as a media pc. You can get them on ebay or similar for ~30 €, so it's basically the same price as a TVStick. I reccommend getting a bluetooth keyboard as well.

If you want another stick then there's also Roku.

I'll have a look at Roku thank you because it needs to be user friendly for the family.

Using a browser isn't family friendly enough? :D The only thing that needs fiddling is the setup.

I might think my family are more retarded than they are, I'll test them out on my pc and see how they do. If they do good I might be able to use the raspberry pi someone has suggested.
