Which device/box should I get to run Kodi and Netflix and shit?

I did a bit of reading/Googling but it was pretty inconclusive. I'm in the Canada which seems to limit my options a bit as well.



Also, as a side note, does Kodi allow you to watch international channels? My girlfriend is from the UK and would enjoy watching her shitty English reality shows sometimes if possible.


Thanks for any help guys.

Can't really beat Raspberry Pi for the price.

This seems like a decent option but I'd prefer something that I didn't have to set up.

If someone could ballpark it, how long would it take to set it up from start to finish with no previous experience using a Raspberry Pi in any way?

What are the pros/cons of each?

I heard Apple TV can run Kodi only if you do a sideload or something.
