Wouldn't it be so much simpler to have a good HTML5-capable browser and an extended URI scheme for the video tag to support live content?

Samsung TVs seem to be powered by a single Linux blob for the DSP functions and another for the "Smart" functions.

Ethernet/wifi in TV's is a great concept but the execution so far is sad, it can't pair with a cable DVR in another room, you can't down Roku as an app (or Plex) and have it run as a native full speed application on the TV cpu, and if even if you can, it won't run across different brands of television or even different models from the same company.
