   As I address my frustrations with TV web browsers, I inevitably consider my frustrations with Smart TV OSs: Their experiences are designed by marketers.

   They really don't suit someone who enjoys collecting media they love! (Not that Hollywood wants to allow us, but there's other options).

   What would it take to design a document-centric TV OS I'd enjoy running Haphaestus on?

   There'd be very little visual design, focus on the media being enjoyed together & shunt most chrome to the remote.

   1/2?

     The main thing that'd need to be designed is a filemanager, which may support organizing by more than folders. And a source/app selector.

     Also there'd need to be settings, but if we're designing the platform ourselves (ideally based on FreeDesktop.Org specs) Bureaucromancy can handle most of this design-work.

     Also it'd be worth looking into which protocols would be useful to provide media for this TV.

     Anyone keen to design this? I've got a full plate...

     2/2!
