My father considers buying an Android TV box. Initially, I thought that's a bad choice as a mini pc has much greater capabilities and control.

However, he does have a point that Android TV boxes are cheaper (~60) and work with tv cable which most mini PCs don't have a connector for.

What are your thoughts on this?

I'm pretty sure they have jellyfin apps on Android tv. I have a cheap projector that is running, I believe, Android tv and I use jellyfin on it.
