A mini PC could let me do more than just streaming and also do things like install more powerful script blockers/ad blockers. But that's overkill.

I bought a beelink mini PC last year and it has been fantastic for streaming sports, movies / TV and I also have it set up for emulating old console games (think GameCube era and earlier). I had issues with a cheaper non bee link brand where the mini PC bricked itself immediately after updating drivers for the first time. Got a full refund (Amazon) and it’s been smooth sailing on the 7 seas since.
The only downside is it’s a PC and not a smooth UI built around streaming like Apple TV or chromecast.
If you have questions on my set up I’d be happy to answer them.
