Very few APPs can run on Android TV, are you sure you like it?
You better firstly experienced with  ...

Android TV on RK3288 and most other platforms is much different from the official Google Android TV which is on the nexus and ADT-1.  Nexus player and ADT-1 rub the leanback launcher which is very restrictive.

Most other Android TV devices will run pretty much every Android app, whether made for phone, TV, tablet, or anything else.

I have a Android on my RK3288 TV device and I also have Google ADT-1.  I much prefer the Rockchip device.  Not only does it have better performance, it is also much more versatile because it will run almost every Android app ever made.  ADT-1 will only run games with the Android tv intent code, but there are several ways around that.

To answer another, you can cast to just about any Android device that had froyo or higher if you have the correct app installed.

Cheers,
