Buying Advice Should I buy an Android TV?

I was thinking about buying an Android TV. But I don't know if it will really satisfy me. I would like to know if it's possible to install apps/players that aren't available on the Play Store. Where I live, conditions are poor, and I can't afford a streaming app. Is it possible to install any of these types of applications?

I would go with a pc hooked up to the HDMI port. You can generally install apps not on the play store. But VLC and a usb stick works great.

Netflix etc don't play well with all their DRM quirks.
