My housemate's just got a chromecast for the house and it's awesome. Was using a raspberry pi using raspbmc previously for the same job, and (as you'd expect) the chromecast does everything a hell of a lot better. Lovely quality youtube and iplayer. Haven't messed about with plex or any of the paid movie services but for ease of use and quality of picture it's spot on.
