Isn't the Pi 3B still available for that kind of job?
If you can find a new one. They are $45+ on ebay used. None of the usual US sellers has any.
I just noticed on rpilocator that there are a couple US sellers who have RPi4-1GB boards in stock for $35. I might have to try and snag one since my Kodi device has been acting up lately.
But there already is a device that answer that specific need, so it wouldn't make sense for the Raspberry 5 to replace it.
Not that easily and cheaply as they used to be.
And the 4B
Right now getting compute modules is the hard part. When the inevitable CM5 comes out...
