I went with a HTPC and haven't looked back.

How do you cast from your android or iPhone to am HTPC?

You dont really, at least not the same way, youd probably want to look into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast

Depends on the OS of the HTPC.

Windows has native support for Android. I assume iPhone to Mac is super easy. I can't speak for Linux or other combos.
