I still have uSD cards with TV and movies I want to watch on-the-move on it - and have been known to take small Kodi boxes (RPI, ODroid etc.) with me for easy connection to hotel TVs  

Yup, I agree, but this is still one more device you need to carry and I pressume that you have a smartphone with you.

Anyway, thanks for this discussion. I'm not trying to convince you, I just like to embrace new concepts.
