Best TV Media Box to Play X265 Movies and TV Shows from a HDD for a Computer Illiterate Person?

Hi im wondering what TV box would be best for a Computer illiterate person?

My Uncle needs one for his TV but something simple and cheap.
I have a Roku Ultra myself which is easy to plug and play but there about $130 aud so anything cheaper as its only to play x265/x264 files from a HDD.

Mi box?

Thanks for any help.

  • Mi Box is decent. Has the encryption keys to play netflix/youtube at 720p-4K
    Not many of the cheap boxes do.
    Does x265 4K. Even the remote is good. Can enable voice control!

    • How easy is it to access the HDD after turning it on?
      for example my roku Ultra pops up with the media player and shows all the files on the HDD.

  • I also want some advice around this.

    I need something that is super easy to use. Was thinking of getting a Fetch (for Youtube, Netflix and catch up free to air TV). Any thoughts?

    Was wondering if you can connect a keyboard to it also, if anyone knows. Keyboard would make it easier for searching YT, etc.

  • nVidia Shield TV.. Pricey but worth it and it can do a lot more than other Android tv boxes.

    Disclosure: I own one.. so may be a little biased
