Hello,
can i do the following with an Android TV that costs less than 60euros ?
1/ Download Torrents :
. run a torrent server that I can manage through a web interface from any computer of the local network (to upload a .torrent file, check progress, pause downloads etc)
2/ Power and run an external 2.5" usb drive (2TB)
.formated in exFat, hosting all my medias and downloaded torrents
3/ Run Kodi
. and play 1080p h265 mkv with AC3 audio.
4/ If I go with a Mi Box S
Can I run a custom open source rom ? Is there a way to desolder the microphone in the remote ? I don't care about having another device collecting random datas in my house ( not being paranoid, we all know it's being done by Apple, Amazon and Google all the time (through "accidental triggers" , some of us just decide to care a little)
I don't think the MI Box can handle what you are looking for. Your best options would be to save up for the Nvidia Shield Pro or looking into doing something custom with a Raspberry Pi 4 and something like OpenElec or Kodi or Plex.
