Is it possible to set up a home server with viewing files on TV and a torrent client with an automatic rss downloader?

This means that the inputs are as follows: two simple TVs with USB and HDMI, but without Wi-Fi and other wireless channels, a Wi-Fi router TL-WR940N 450M (without USB), an external 500GB USB 3.0 hard drive.
Tasks:
1) set up a wireless channel on both TVs at the same time to watch videos in FullHD. Well, here you probably need ChromeCast or a similar thing. The main thing: a simple and convenient interface.
2) automatic torrent client without using a PC. Maximum: Android tablet for adding torrent files to the queue.
Ideally, the result should be as follows: configure the torrent client to work with an rss feed and remotely control this device via the Internet, at minimal cost.
A media server or NAS is too bulky for these tasks and not justifiably expensive. Due to the lack of USB on the router, it is no longer possible to connect a disk to it, and buying another router because of this function alone is not cost-effective.
The most important question is: is it possible to set up such a system without embedding a mini-PC into this chain and without programming knowledge? I would like to automatically download TV shows in Russian localization without constant monitoring.
I hope for detailed answers, otherwise much of what I read on this topic is quite difficult for an ordinary user to decipher. And if you find solutions based on the systems of interest, many details remain in question at the level of practice, not theory. For example: supported torrent clients, the capabilities of these clients, configuration flexibility, real interface speeds.

1. TV connect by wire. WiFi and FullHD in the implementation of TV - hell
2. I have a small microATX format server with Linux on board, there is a file washer and a torrent and Plex as a media and DLNA server. There is also minidlna for media files that are not series or movies.
3. I don't use rss feeds
