Set-Top Media Streamers

[Xiahou]

I could just buy a handheld mini wireless keyboard and mouse. Any suggestion on those?

I use one of these:

Relevant, perhaps. Chromecast.

I'd have to see the video quality on non-compatible apps before I got too excited. In those cases, it relies on your laptop or whatever to encode the stream for the chromecast device. The article says quality takes a big hit then.... If so, you'd be better off leaving your computer directly connected to the TV and controlling it with a BT keyboard-type thing.

For the price though, it's definitely worth keeping an eye on.
