You can
use TV-out of your video card to send video to your TV using analogue cables, for example. You can even use a remote control with your PC. I used to do that, but I find it uncomfortable now.
The newest players can be connected via network and play even HD videos including Blu-Ray images. And they can show online content and even support downloading from torrent sites. This is a pretty cheap alternative to HTPC.
