I'm assuming that with push you mean to start "playback" of the
picture on the TV without using the TV's own remote control or
similar.

For that you need Media Controller functionality (DMC in DLNA speak).
Coherence is perfectly suited for this.

Read up on the AV Architecture on upnp.org: http://upnp.org/specs/av/default.asp
Don't bother with the DLNA requirements, they are not available for
the general public. UPnP is all you need.
