I have an original XBox connected to a big old CRT for emulation purposes. RCA > RF modulator > coax. It’s noisy as hell, but in that good way. I was able to stream Hulu through XBMC4Xbox a few years ago, but no one’s maintaining it anymore unfortunately.

Somebody call the HDCP police! These people are RUINING ALL THE COPYRIGHTZ!
