That's good, but I can suggest another solution that's cheaper and doesn't involve Kodi
Rip your DVD's, stick them on your computer
Get something like WIFI PC File Explorer Pro
Install it on your pc & your android phone
Now we have the ability to read files from your computer via your mobile phone
Get as many Chromecasts as you have TV's (I use 5)
Install Allcast or similar on your phone
I know it sounds a bit cumbersome, but it's not.
You now have the ability to stream any file on your PC (including your Ripped DVDs) to any TV in your House. Which is nice because if you go the Kodi android box/Firestick route, it's one device per TV, this way you can distribute to your entire house, using the PC as a media server, the chromecast as the receiver and the phone as a remote control.
Best of all, there's no 'dubious legality' issues.
I also have Kodi installed on my PC & set top box as well
