I got a mate in the US to send over a bunch of ChromeCasts and it is the way forward. $35 per first screen and you use 'whatever' phone/tablet/app to tell it to download content. Sure as hell beats the brain dead UX on my Bravia for finding media as the device you send commands from is anything and disconnected from the source and destination of the streaming. It is so frickin simple and widely supported from second screen apps on android/ios. Latest release also supports Plex for local media. YMMV. David.
