Can someone recommend me a cheap 1080p android tv with app sideloading available? I've been looking for options in europe but they seem to cost 60€+

Edit: android tv DONGLE, not a whole tv

You should also specify the size you're looking for, not much help without it.

I'm sorry, what do you mean by size?

Shit my bad, I meant an android tv dongle with remote, not a whole tv

Chromecast with Google TV is not an option? Xiaomi TV Stick 4K also seems good enough and is cheaper (though I have no experience). If you like tinkering with stuff, you can buy a Raspberry Pi and turn it into Android TV yourself.

Not really feeling like thinkering lately... Thanks for the suggestions, I wanted to avoid GAFAM/Huawei but I guess there is no escaping it... I'll buy it second hand and slap an adblocker on it

Walmart's Onn 4k Android TV box is perfect IMO. Costs $20

You can't game on it, but I never had one issue streaming video

I'm looking exactly for one such thing, but in europe. We don't have walmarts and shipping costs are too high
