Chromeboxes ocasionally get discounts / coupons / cashbacks that bring it down below that price, if you can wait for one that's a good option.
The Intel Braswell NUC and similar boxes start at $130 and require memory and at least a USB drive to store the OS. Braswell has the advantage of supporting HEVC decoding (not supported yet in ffmpeg). Though I would recomend the N3150 (quad core model) that starts at $160.
Another Intel x86 alternative is the newly announced Tronsmart Ara X5 TV box - Cherry Trail, which should become available this month. Cherry trail is the brother of Braswell (same architecture) and should have similar Kodi performance/capabilities. No one has yet tried this box with Kodi so I would recommend waiting until someone tests it but it should be priced within your budget.

Current Hardware - Cat 5e wired network, HD Homerun Extend (OTA), TP-Link Managed Switch, Netgear WNDR4300 Router, 3 TB MyCloud Storage, Two Non-smart TV's (no ethernet port, only HDMI), Roku 3.
What "box" would you recommend I place at each TV to get Kodi services and Live TV?
