My current tv is so old that the netlfix app isn't supported anymore. From an usb stick it can only play h.264 videos so I always have to run them through hand brake first. That is why I want to buy an streaming box. Preferably under 50€

Alternatively if someone knows about a blu ray player under 100€ which can do all of the above plus play blu ray dvds please recommend me one :)

Why not just get a big monitor and connect it to your computer as a secondary display?

I already have a big pc monitor but I prefer watching movies on my TV. But your comment got me the idea to just buy a very long hdmi cable 🙂

Make sure it's a 2.1 one

This is my preferred setup, would recommend. If you route the HDMI through an AVR you can also get lossless surround.
