    Another thing I dont like is the applications shop, is very limited and I can't install the Google Play shop.

    I tried a 2014 Samsung and it's the same thing.

    Chromecast only allows you to broadcast your browser, so it won't let you watch movies on your hard drive.

    I'm thinking if the best solution is to connect all the time one of those small computers to the TV, and control it with a minikeyboard.

    At the moment only don't know what should be the model of the small computer I should buy to connect to the TV....Any suggestions?

    Chromecast does allow to watch movies from your hard drive through apps such as videostream

    Pipo x7 was €74 on a Bargain Alerts thread but there appears to be problems with delivery. You might have to add €25 or so customs on top of that

    That's exactly what I want. Meanwhile what's the price of a small computer to have standing there near the TV?

    Can I connect a wireless keyboard on it?

    Yes will work through USB - keep an eye on Windows licensing though, there may be problems as the version of Windows used appears to be designed for tablets. Im looking for the same thing but will try get a HP Stream mini from the US
