            Yes, it means "I can't come up with a name and used toddler sounds" in Chinese.

                    Why Roku and not ChromeCast, usually google stuff with Android has very easy learning curve from what I noticed.

                    I own ChromeCast and something like Roku powered by Asmedia S902

                      Ok so clearly some kind of open Android device seems to be the most open for modification.

                      What I don't get is the software. So Android is installed, then what? On the GooBank it doesn't say what is the actual media software.

                      Is this just downloading something from the app store? If so, can I do this from any old Android phone or laptop? I happen to have an older Android tablet with an HDMI port, could I just use that and get a docking station and wireless remote or something?

                        Kodi is an app that might make sense.

                          You an install apks directly and/or use Google play Store.

                          Possibly, but the Android TV is better for this imo. It runs a slightly different OS specifically for Android TV.
