    Giving a user undetectable remote access to their computer

    This is going to depend on the game. A lot of games will not work via RDP because of video driver limitations. However a service like logmein or teamviewer or the such would work, but the performance would suck. The game would not be able to tell that your logged in remotely.

    What's the "smoothest" way to stream movie files to TV?

    iTunes + AppleTV works great for me. Use Handbrake for your own video.
