Wonder if it would work in my Sony Amp instead of just into a TV....

Saying that though i have the sky wifi dongle thing already so it gives me most of this. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

HHHmmm Well I have the Sky Wi Fi dongle too along with Apple TV box so maybe this Google CC might not really be of any use to me ... ====================================

the one advantage a chromecast has is that it 'mirrors' what you have on your laptop/ipad/tablet onto your tv screen which is something i dont need as i already have a 'now tv' box with plex loaded .. ... - .- -.

On a related note as you guys seem reasonably informed - is there any device out there that would let me stream what's playing on my laptop, e.g. a downloaded movie on VLC (outside of a web browser like Chrome), to my TV other than Apple TV? MY11 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - "African Queen"

i have movies on my laptop hard drive, i use plex media server on my laptop and plex side loaded onto a now tv box plugged into my tv...
you have plex running on the laptop and you can access the movies on the now tv box/tv.. ... - .- -.

thanks Stan - will do a little research on this. Is it hard to get Plex put onto a now tv box? Could it be used on any other digital media streaming device, such as the Western Digital one? MY11 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - "African Queen"

getting plex onto the now tv box is easy, there are many tutorials on the web re this ..

also there are other media servers about that most streaming boxes can use and XBMC being the most popular.. ... - .- -.

Apparently Plex is now a supported app in Chromecast.

You could use a hdmi cable if your laptop supports it.

I do that all the time as my laptop then just sits out of site while I'm on the sofa and use rdp from my phone to control the laptop when I want to do something on it like pause  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
