You're not out of luck! There's plenty of solutions, for significantly less than $100-200 as well!
There's the Roku streaming device: (you need an account to see links)
Amazon Fire Stick: (you need an account to see links)
Google Chromecast: (you need an account to see links)
Any of these would work perfectly for Netflix/Hulu/etc. I personally have owned a Roku and a Fire Stick. I prefer the Fire Stick, because of it's integration to Amazon's ecosystem. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
