Hi, If you want complete accessibility, unfortunately the only two ways to go are Apple TV or a dedicated media center PC connected directly to the TV. The Apple TV works best for people who subscribe to the Apple ecosystem as you have noticed and the dedicated computer approach is over kill for most people.
I upgraded the hard drive in an old netbook and repurposed it as an iTunes server; it sits in our atic serving content to the Apple TV and also runs a DLNA server for some other devices. I'm not a fan of the approach that Apple have taken with the Apple TV but I have to admit my setup generally works pretty well. Cheers, Ben.
