Isn't that what a Chromecast is? The one I have, you just connect to the wifi and it shows up as a cast target. It doesn't do anything else.

Yes but they discontinued them in favor of Google TV, and they also heavily nerfed the capabilities by putting Google TV apps on there. For instance I now often have to pull out the virtual remote in the YouTube app to make a pop-up go away so I can watch the YouTube video I cast.

Try out Smarttubenext. Made watching YouTube on my chromecast with Google TV enjoyable again.
