It's a great idea. I do this with the VGA out of my Home Theater PC. (VGA to composite). That PC has it's HDMI going to the "big Samsung" and runs XBMC, but I mirror the desktop to that VGA to composite...and it's one of the sources to the switcher before my HLLY transmitter. I can switch between a DTV converter (aerial), an ARCHOS 700 little media player that just plays old vintage stuff 24/7 randomly....and this PC running XBMC.

This same idea above would work with the HDMI out of a ROKU as well....or if you have one of the older ROKU with the RCA outs.....eliminate the HDMI converter altogether.

Using the HLLY transmitter (eBay)...I retain using the tuners on all the old sets. If they get channel 13, they get whatever the switcher is switched to. Nice side effect, can watch anything pretty much anywhere within like 200 feet around without cables run allover the place.
