Well, actually, it's what we've been working with for computers for a long time. But TVs seem to have been avoiding this for a long time. Perhaps there are some technical reasons behind it, or cost, or both. Either way, I think the market would greatly welcome being able to navigate channels, etc. by point and click, instead of a conceptualized "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, select"</p>
