I'm looking for a way to stream media from my PC to my TV. The idea is to store movies/etc on a large hard drive in my PC, and connect to it somehow with something hooked up to my TV and stream it that way off the network (like Netflix/Hulu streaming, only with stuff I already have). Currently we use a Wii U console to stream Netflix and Hulu, but it is taking way too much bandwidth and costing us on our internet bill. If there's a way to do this with the Wii U we already have, then perfect. If not, I'm open to ideas. Cheap android PC box-type thing perhaps?
I don't need 4K or HEVC or anything like that. h.264 sub-1080p is fine.
