Internet TV

There is a lot of discussion about accessing media on a TV through a Roku box, but what are the other options for those of us without a Roku box? On lds.org, there is a page that references several other devices (http://lds.org/media-library/accessing- ... s?lang=eng), but there is little detail about how supported these devices are (web TVs and Blu-ray players).
More specifically, I have a Sony Blu-ray player and got it in part because the above page seems to suggest that Sony Blu-ray players will have LDS content available. I have not figured out how to access that yet, but perhaps it is still in the works? An app similar to the Roku app, with live and archived Mormon Channel content, would be ideal.
So far, the best I can do is access some content through YouTube, but that is far from ideal. Of course, I know I can always plug a computer into the TV and just play video directly from the computer, but I was hoping for a more user-friendly option (sometimes just getting the TV on is an accomplishment for some family members, and my services as the family technology expert are not always available).
