Question fellerZ,

My PC sits in the front office. Does anyone know of a way I can wirelessly cast my screen to any of the TV in the house. I'm thinking Blurays and Bluray rips (from my personal collection obviously for backup reasons). Some of the TVs are upstairs, so distance is a consideration. Is there a way to do this over WIFI?

Not sure about screen casting options. I use Plex Media Server for streaming media files.

Get Plex on your main pc, connect it to the folder with all of your media. It will automatically add all cover art/descriptions/etc.

You can then download Plex onto the TV's in your house and stream movies from your PC.

I want to like Plex so much. I think they are going paid only soon, only my guess. They are starting to push out a lot more $79 lifetime passes. Do you still HAVE to have internet connection to use it? No true offline mode?

Get a chromecast, then use google chrome as your internet browser and at the top right of the page, you will see the cast icon to send it to the tv w the chromecast.

Will that mirror my screen, or just cast stuff from the browser?

It should cast either the browser of anything in the computer that supports and has the casting ability. If you bring it up on the screen, it should cast for the most part. I have a chrome book and a mac air and I am able to cast all music and movies on either, whether internal storage or pulled from the cloud.

Just passed a wrecked exotic on the highway. People underestimate rain around here.

My son is getting a Chromecast since he didn't want DishTV. I'll test it with his. My 'puter doesn't have wifi though.
