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

I found the remote codes because I was searching for a photo of the remote to send to my mum so she knew what it looked like, and the photo was on the LIRC website with the codes. I wanted to find the remote again so I could record the codes myself

Mine arrived today too, but my car also wouldn't start this morning so I think that'll sit on the back burner for a little while.
I've always been tempted by the odroids but the huge community of the RPi always sways it for me. Because I'm using the GPIO quite a lot I trust the software to work more reliably and be updated on the RPi.
