Word of warning, loads of those are full of hidden malware that will attempt to infect the other devices on your network. Probably best to make your own every time.

Apparently not loads, but some are. People can get the more expensive branded stuff if they're worried or just overwrite the firmware with something like LibreELEC.

Also for that reason I prefer my current solution with a Mini-PC, though at about €150 rather than €35 it's a lot more expensive, which for me is fine as I use it for a lot more stuff than only as a media player, but since I'm a little wary of pitching something which requires quite a bit more technical expertise to use to people which might or not have that expertise, I only mentioned that option last and in passing.
