This is a general question about digital TV and HDTV.
Is there any overlap between computer protocols
and TV protocols? Will the two appliances merge?
What sorts of interfaces does a TV
offer to accept an input signal or to control the TV?
I was wondering about how you might use Java to make
a truly convenient TV, one that recorded shows for
you, filtered out junk, let you channel surf
categorising shows by priority, and noting shows for
future consideration or exclusion. Java was originally designed for a
TV set top box.
