I started using Plex a little while ago and love it. My only issue is, I don't want to be using my gaming rig to simply stream videos. So what currently is the best way to get Plex on my TV? I've seen those android sticks, but I've heard of a lot of stability issues as well. What do you all use for your Plex streaming needs?

There are better android sticks that are basically re-branded versions of the cheaper ones you can buy. Some of them look like the various software is vetted better. Best bet would be to hunt around Plex's site for success stories for the various devices stick or set top box or what have you.

I bought a refurb for $50 (1 Sale a Day, I think). Best purchase I've made in a long time. The thing is amazing. Plex is super easy with it. Just an excellent product.

For something cheaper than that, you could get one of those android set top boxes off of ebay, they go for anywhere from 40-150 bucks, and tend to include a remote, and single dual or quad core processor. Just grab one of those and install the android plex client and your set to go!
Seconded. You'll still need another PC around running the Media Server portion but setup is a breeze.
