devices like these instead? They would be low power, easy to setup and
maintain (well, to plug into the tv), and cheaper than an entire computer.

assume one for power), and can support up to a 32GB SD card.

I'm on my phone, but is that link the 32 or 64 bit version? One seems to
have more RAM, so I think this is the 32bit version. Is there a link for
the 64bit version?
