When I connect via Linux Termial Services Client from Windows to the
Linux box, it presents me with a login and I am able to log in.
However, the TV attached to the server shows the REAL desktop and it's
still at the login screen. Not quite what I'm looking for.

Just a wild guess, but this might be what you're looking for:

Check the section "Running VNC as your "desktop""

Go for xdcmcp and enable remote login from other machines.
System -> Administrator -> Login Screen

This allows you to login from a remote machine with F10 and selecting
the machine (if they are in the same network). I use this all the time.
All other seem to work easy but sound is muted.

What is exactly the problem you are facing with XDMCP?

Once this is enable on the server side, you need to go to the client machine and (from the login screen) press F10 to see all Remote login enabled servers in your network. Select the one you want to login and go ahead.
