Pretty Simple Setup with auto downloading of TV Shows
The other day we had a great post by /u/toxirau about his pretty awesome setup (http://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/2j943s/it_all_started_with_plexnow_its_getting_out_of/) .
Its amazing but its daunting for most. So here is my fully auto and pretty simple setup:
Windows 8.1 computer with i5 2500 and 4GB of RAM, this is my every day computer, I use it for everything and it stays on all the time, it can easily handle 2 Plex users trans-coding at the same time and myself playing a video game like WoW.

Add a schedule for after hours and maybe put an upload limit on
Sign up for an account on ShowRSS (free), this web site creates an RSS feed of your favourite shows usually from eztv
In utorrent add the RSS feed from ShowRSS, label it Temp TV
Install Filebot
In utorrent use a script like this (Advanced-> Run Programs): 'c:Program FilesFileBotfilebot' -script fn:amc --output 'D:/Media Folder' --action move --conflict override -non-strict --def subtitles=en artwork=y 'ut_dir=%D' 'ut_file=%F' 'ut_kind=%K' 'ut_title=%N' 'ut_label=%L' 'ut_state=%S'
Create a TV Shows folder and a Movies folder in your d:Media Folder (or whichever folder you choose but alter the script above)
Install Plex Server and have 2 libraries pointing at the subfolders in theMedia Folder
I have 3 TVs in the house.
The first 2 TVs have Chromecasts on them, from here we launch the Plex Android or iOS app to send content to them, they cost me $80 for both and I got a $40 Google Play credit back
The last TV is a PC with Plex Home Theatre, I could also use anything here but its left over from my old setup that involved XBMC. I use it for my 3D movies that I have. I miss not having a Chromecast on this TV.
Download Tv Shows To Phone
There are a couple of advantages for Chromecast over HTPC:
Netlfix, you have a limit of 4 devices, the Chromecast does not count as a device, so you've now eliminated 1 TV and allowed you to use Netlfix on one more device.
Ease of use, it is so much more easy to browse through your phone or tablet for what you want to watch then using a HTPC remote or a keyboard.
Cheap
The one disadvantage is that FF and Rewind are slower to react, though pause is great.
