New here looking for advice

Hello I wanted to come to this forum for help on understanding Kodi.

My father is going to be stuck in bed after an operation soon, and I would like to make a system so he can watch TV and stuff while he is stuck there.

He has a smart TV (samsung) My question is, am i able to take an external hard drive and install Kodi + all the TV things that i would need?

Or would I be better off buy a box from somewhere? I’m very new to all this so any advice in layman’s terms would be helpful.

Ideally I just want to setup a box with all the sky/BT sports channels/Movies etc.

(I apologize if this isn’t the correct area to post, again I was rather unsure)
