Recommend an Android TV box

I've decided the easiest way to watch geo-restricted TV (Swedish TV, in this use case), is to purchase an Android TV box and install a full-time VPN connection to a Swedish server. Anyone have one and recommend it? I thought about the Nvidia Shield, but it's way too much machine for my purposes (I don't game, and I have no plans to buy a 4K TV anytime soon). Because this is a truly single-purpose device (I also have a Roku Ultra for regular streaming), I'd like to keep the price around $50-75. Also ideal if seller is in the US, so that I can have it up and running by the end of the month.

(My house is an Apple-free zone, so please don't recommend Apple TV.)

Edited to add: I see that you can install a VPN on an Amazon Fire Stick/TV, but the process of side-loading all of the apps that I need sounds like a real PITA.
