You have probably heard by now that the YouTube app for Android can be used as a remote control for watching videos on a larger screen. What you possibly didn't know is that this should work on every device with a browser and an internet connection. Which means, for example, that you can pair a laptop with the Android-app, connect that laptop to your TV - and watch YouTube-videos using the Android app as a remote. All you need to do is: 1. Go to youtube.com/tv (on your laptop, TV or other "large screen") 2. Navigate to Sign In & Settings and then to "Pair device" 3. Follow the instructions! Obviously, if your TV has a browser and an internet connection, you should be set to go. Mine don't, so I have paired my Chromebook with the YouTube app instead and stream to my TV via HDMI. That setup works perfectly and I now have a fully YouTube-enabled TV with a great remote :-)
