As mentioned in the OP, I'm pretty evenly split between the Chromecast and a Roku 2 XS. From my perspective:

Split between Netflix and Amazon on my Wii and other stuff on my Gbox with Kodi. If I can watch it on Netflux or Amazon, I do just because of reliability and consistency of stream. For stuff I can't get there, I switch over to Kodi.

What are you casting from your phone, media on the phone or media from another source with the phone as the controller? You can do both with a Roku and the Roku phone app.

I torrent movies and TV shows to my phone and watch Netflix from it. HDMI plugs into the Slimport.

I've got an AppleTV that I wish was more useful than it is at this point.
Most of my video streaming happens through my Google Fiber TV boxes. They'll stream almost any type of video right off the storage box. Since Spotify arrived on the PS4 I've been listening to a ton of Spotify while I play games, but I don't think that's what you're interested in here. |
