Buy a small PC, get one of those keyboard and trackpad things that is the form factor of a TV remote. It's more expensive but nobody can deprecate it from you and you can stream anything you could stream to a web browser or torrent onto a hard drive. I did it earlier this year and regret not doing it sooner.
That’s basically what the first Chromecast engineer saw his wife doing that inspired him to think up the Chromecast…
My understanding was that Chromecast was just Google running the Embrace Extend Extinguish playbook on Miracast
Aright, we’ve got to get miracast back now that Chromecast is dead.
This is only viable if you're a savvy pirate. Streaming services are limiting you to 720p unless you're on some smart TV platform now
