Ever seen something about it?

What I’ve seen until now is mainly a sort of refinement of the UI, for a large TV screen, of:

1) the web Browser
2) YouTube & similia
3) Facebook & similia

I’ve never seen methods for “getting out” of a standard, old-style TV show while watching it, accessing a web link shown in it, or searching for info about something shown in it, maybe stopping and buffering the stream flow for the time I need to read my info. This is something technically feasible, I think… But I guess no TV broadcaster wants people to leave their program, even for a second.

One side note: “… enjoy two TV broadcasting channels, as well as Internet-based content
and applications in high-resolution at the same time…”. Well, this is not a matter of the OS or hardware of the set-top box, but about the capabilities of the human being sitting in front of such a monster TV  !!!  :9

Now using ARM processors seems very senseful (low prices, good enough performance, low head, …). As a plus we now found a lot of Android games ready to be used in Smart TV’s.

I think this second wave of Smart TV’s will finally be succesful.
