>A ideal TV interface should help you do a lot of things,

That's kind of a judgement call - there's nothing wrong with a minimal interface that does what you want it to and nothing more.

Kind of like Chrome as a browser - Google's big thing with its design was minimal and out of your way, so you can focus on the web page (the reason you're running the browser in the first place).

I think there's room for both. Firefox is pretty popular precisely because of all the things it can do.

In any case, modern TVs suck at doing either of these things. I wouldn't mind which way they go as long as they do one of them.
