I thought about doing this in the AT&T thread since there was a lot of talk about streaming devices and cord cutting...but what I'm trying to do is a little different.
I've got this older LCD TV that I don't really have a use for, or really care if it gets damaged by weather, so I was thinking about wall mounting it in my back patio by the pool (it's covered pretty well so unless the wind really starts ripping and blowing rain in, it should be pretty protected).
My requirements are:
- Need to be able to install a VPN on whatever I hook up to it.
- Need a browser, and likely the ability to stream acestreams.
- Plex would be nice.
- Might install something like Kodi.
- Possibly will try getting stuff like Netflix, Hulu running (maybe via Kodi). But I don't care too much about this.
What's my best bet? A newer gen Raspberry Pi with a case to protect it from the elements? Something else? Any advice appreciated.
