android/multimedia box

[wijcc]

Hi guys,

I have a non-smart lcd tv, I want to get a small and cheap box (android box or alike i guess) that I can connect to my TV(s) via hdmi so i can play movies off a usb memory stick and hopefully access iplayer, itv on demand and other such apps too. If i can use kodi that is a bonus too.
I have seen the likes of "X96 mini TV box" is that the best avenue for me to go up? Can anyone recommend me the best way for me to go?
Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks. Another question, how easy is it (/is it possible) to upgrade/update the android OS on these boxes, particularly the lesser known chinese branded ones?
