Thanks for suggestions, but although it has an ethernet port, it doesn’t seem to be a “smart” tv in the sense it can actually browse the internet on its own. It is a generation before true smart tv’s in that it utilises the dlna technology.

A DLNA server is only required to stream the media from your computer, or other compatible device, to your tv. Once the tv is connected to the internet, depending on the tv of course, you should be able to access services such as ABC's iView, various 'apps' and a browser.

As certain software packages are best designed for certain devices like the Sony PlayStation or at Microsoft Xbox. DNLA is mostly referenced with TV"s and most server software that you will find on the Mac only support certain models of certain brand TVs You might have some better luck searching for "DLNA UPnP AV Servers Mac" But if you give me some more information on what you want to do I should be able to give you a good recommendation as I've tried several different software packages on Mac OS X over the last few years.
