Hi there folks,salutations from sunny Spain.
Ok so here is the deal:
Pops is sick at the moment dyalisis every 3 days and now his PSA is high (could be cancer,wont know till he gets the biopsy done)
I spend most of my time at home taking care of him so i want to make him feel as confortable as possible,apart from cooking and keeping him active as possible i want him to be entertained.
So anyway he spends a lot of time at home and he loves movies and tv series so everyday he asks me for a specific movie or tv series and then i look for it in my pc.
I have plenty of space and i was tired of dragging all those dvds around so i just ripped them and put them on my pc and a couple of external drives.
And now whenever i buy a dvd i just rip it and keep it in my pc so i can pass it to him for whenever he wants to watch it,we would get a service like netflix or something like that but for now he prefers to shop for dvds or just watch the stuff he already has.
Now this is a bit of a pain because each time he wants to watch something i have to look for it in my pc or the external drives,then copy it to a pendrive then put the pendrive in the tv.
His current tv is a non smart samsung tv model UE40J5100.
This model only has one usb port and im afraid it might break one day ( i use it 3 or 4 times a day) and they we are screwed so i need some help coming up with a setup for him to use.
Ideally something with a capacity of 2TB or more where i can dump in all the stuff he usually watches (old western movies,nazi movies and series about lawyers hehe) and then he can just use a remote and browse what he wants.
Was looking at android boxes with a 3.0 USB connection,and i was thinking that an android box+2tb har drive would be the best choice (if im wrong please let me know)
So far,this is what i have come up with as a setup for my pops:

and for external drive (even thou i have a couple but i thought i would buy a new one,you know fresh start and all that) i was thinking of getting this:
