Kodi (formerly XMBC) is a free, cross platform media player that supports remote control over HDMI, HTTP (so any device your network) and has plug-ins for the BBC and ITV. I had everything up and running in less than 15 minutes. I am able to watch movies, BBC and ITV all from one single interface. Additionally I can control the movies using the TV remote and I can use my phone to control the content for movies or UK TV. And best of all, I don't need to use iTunes anymore and I'm not flooding the network streaming movies to the Apple TV. Here are the steps: Preparation Old Mac (or PC or Raspberry Pi) with an active Ethernet/WIFI network connection (must have internet access) HDMI out (you could use a VGA or DVI adapter if you're Mac is really old - but you will need to use your Audio Out cable). Make sure your audio is set to play on HDMI and not the Mac's internal speaker. (To do this go to System Preferences -> Sound -> Output on your Mac
