| Pros | Cons | | :--- | :--- | | Dirt cheap hardware compared to Nvidia Shield or Apple TV. | Setup: Requires Linux knowledge; not beginner-friendly. | | Versatility: It's a full computer.

You have total control over the software. | HDMI Issues: The Pi 5 sometimes has handshake issues with certain TV brands (black screens/flickering) that require config file edits ( config.txt ). | | Fanless (mostly): Quiet operation if you use a passive heatsink case. | DRM/Netflix: While Stremio works, getting official apps like Netflix/Disney+ in 1080p+ on Linux/Pi is difficult due to DRM restrictions. |
