Is there any option available in Indian site like amazon etc?
I agree. But please suggest one. Online. Indian sites.I think Chromecast is better for mirroring. But OP will have to put required files to his phone or browse through LAN on file manager ( in phone ) to play movies from the TB HDD. When we think like that, an Android box is much easier for his requirements.

Thank you.
After the recent changes in import rules for personal products there are more chances of having to pay a hefty customs duty of ~35% & more delay in getting the delivery too.
~35% rule was always there but enforced only on costly items depending on your luck but now rules have become stricter so expect more chances of paying customs duty even on low priced products.35% on the price paid? On all items? Source link please.
@OP
I was in your shoes some time back. For a seamless experience upgrade your TV or get something like a Firestick or so.
So, a $10 product from Alibaba will also attract this 35% tax?~35% rule was always there but enforced only on costly items depending on your luck but now rules have become stricter so expect more chances of paying customs duty even on low priced products.

It all depends on your luck.So, a $10 product from Alibaba will also attract this 35% tax?
Kismat hai gandu bhai apni.It all depends on your luck.
In my experience if a product looks expensive then only it will attract customs. Amount of tax depends on the 'assessed value' . Assessed by the custom dept.So, a $10 product from Alibaba will also attract this 35% tax?
That used to be the case earlier but now you may have to pay customs duty even on items that don't look expensive.Will have to wait for 1-2 months to see if it is indeed true as 11/11 sale happened before the latest rule change & most people ordered around that time only.In my experience if a product looks expensive then only it will attract customs.

Ordered a Rs 2800 cpu - no tax. Small thing didn't looked expensive.
Ordered a Rs 2000 badmintion set. 800 tax. It was big.
Does Chromecast requires Internet for Setup and Use ?I think Chromecast is better for mirroring. But OP will have to put required files to his phone or browse through LAN on file manager ( in phone ) to play movies from the TB HDD. When we think like that, an Android box is much easier for his requirements.
