I have been therefore thinking to buy an Android TV stick that I could attach to my AV receiver. Any recommendations? Prefarably some stick that can be purchased from a web shop within EU.

I am also not familiar with how these types of sticks can be controlled. Do they provide a web interface so that I could use them with for example Nokia 770 (yes, I still have one laying around) web browser? Do I need to have TV turned on if I listen to Spotify or can I use the 770 as "second screen" instead of TV?
Hi OVK. Just happen to notice this on a XDA thread which mentions following possibilities. Maybe one of these might work

hdmi adapter (I bought one at radio shack and it worked pretty well. Probably not what you want but I mention it anyways)
allshare cast (Only for Samsung Galaxy models including Notes I think)
chromecast
miracast
CX-919
Ricomagic MK802


here is link

I'd suggest having a look at the Maesy U4C.

It runs on a RK3188 chip (1.6GHz QuaA9) - as fast as a SS3.
It runs Android 4.2.2 so it's not really outdated. It also runs Linux natively.

Decent Mali400-mp4, 1GB DDR3 RAM, 4GB NAND (must load Linux off sd). The nand was a downer, should've given a 16gb.

Has BT 4 (modern LE), Wifi abgn (as well as antenna extender).

Other handy things are USB-OTG 2.0 support, Built in Mic, Built in 2MP camera (decent enough for Skype), and extension box for more USB ports and SD slots.

Seems like the best dumbTV to smartTV converter besides using a Miracast dangle, SteamBox, or a Xbox One.

Chromecast is not a full fledged Android device and you cannot plug a keyboard nor mouse into it. It is a very stripped down Chrome/Android hybrid device that is controlled by whitelisted apps that send it a URL or a stream. It does NOT run actually run Android applications itself.

I should know. I have three in our household now. I love it.. but please don't mistake it for an Android-on-a-stick solution. It's strictly a streaming appliance.
