Hmm. 14 quid to save me spinning my chair round and moving about 2 feet...

The chromecast has a wire. And requires another power plug. But it's pretty cool nonetheless. I'm tempted to get another while they're cheap but I can't think where I'd use it, the flat isn't big enough.

Ah yes, a power plug. Definitely running short on sockets round the back of the telly. Think I'll pretend I don't know they exist for a while longer.

Yeah but no wires to the phone/casting thing!
I suppose there could be a spare USB port lying around to power off, but less likely if it's an old amp/stereo.

Very old (I've had it for 16 years, and it was second hand then. Really must upgrade.)
May be a USB port on the back of the Virgin box, or xbox or something though... NO SHUTUP I DON'T NEED IT!

Already thinking about an arduino with an IR transmitter and wireless receiver that can turn on my HiFi and control the volume, then control that from an RPi which will also send commands to the Chromecast

I'm pretty sure most HiFis come with a remote nowadays for controlling volume and turning things on. Might I suggest some new batteries.

Shhhh.
I actually lost the remote for a while and found that someone had recorded the IR codes so used them to transmit from an RPi that was being a media player
