Wow... those prices are insane.

I've been using Android boxes for years, always ordered from Ali Express or Amazon for around $25 to $30. These boxes also usually come with root access, which is a neat bonus.
Make sure you buy one with the latest Android, as they don't often receive updates afterwards.

Recently also tried the Fire TV stick, which is a good (and quite cheap) alternative as well. Runs on a modified version of Android TV OS, but has no problem running regular Android TV apps.

Note that there's also a difference between Android TV the operating system (used by Nvidia Shield and various HDMI sticks), and Android TV boxes (which are running the regular Android OS).
