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.

How does the VGA to composite work for you? I would also very much like to run XBMC to my vintage sets for my movie library. I use a TiVo for off air, netflix, YouTube, etc but I have yet to find a great solution for my movie collection.
