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?

    I don’t really understand. I use Linux and have no problem with Netflix. Not sure how it goes with other streaming services.

      afaik you can’t get high resolution or something. i think it can be partially mitigated by running google chrome instead of firefox or (open source) chromium but i never attempted these.
