For anyone who doesn't know what a chromecast thing is - (http://www.google.co.uk/chrome/devices/chromecast/)

I've been googling but I'm not really sure if I would be able to stream from, for example, putlocker or couchtuner. If anyone knows the answer to this I would appreciate it??

Nah just Youtube, Netflix and Bbc Iplayer (along with 2 or 3 other things ive forgotten cos i dont use them.) think you can watch what you want with an EZ cast but it destroys your battery life, unlike Chrome.

you can stream tabs but it's not as good as the ones that have actual apps

So could I theoretically stream a show/movie from a website like putlocker using my phone, the chromecast, and TV?

No! Had no idea I can download it to use with a PC, ive only used it with an Ipad! I'll try it out later

Yes, with special apps, if you pay for the ads to be taken away, it's amazing.
