So you want to leave your PC in your study and stream the picture to your living room TV?

A really long VGA or DVI cable? :P

I read somewhere that VLC has some desktop screen stream option or something and you can run it through tversity or watever to the TV if its DLNA compatible.

Desktop streaming over wireless is potentially very slow (refresh rate of 20fps, we're talking), and even if it isn't, it would introduce a lot of latency into any gaming. One could move the computer, or move the screen, or warm the room. I recommend warming the room; cheap radiant heaters can be had for less than $80 that are appropriate.

In this situation I'd have one set of cables for each room and just move the PC around. Plug and play.
