I think, of course, the problem he 'cracked' that will make the interface easier is that instead of a conventional remote, you use your iPhone/iPod Touch or something similar that would come with the TV. Touch screen, context-sensitive menus, voice commands... that would simplify a lot, no?

(I also wonder if he was imagining removing the layer of "channels" and just have something like the iTunes Store where you search for shows?) Just pondering...
