the video rocks!
however, the site Opera.com/TV dosen't so, it is a little garbled (text not fitting button, quotes overlapping text).
good luck with pushing this through, can't wait to buy me an Opera powered TV.

I was wondering how far you need to be from the TV to be able to use arm gestures. I don't think it would be very useful if you had to go near the TV and wave your arms to be able to use it.
The Widgets on TV video was very cool though.

The gesture technology can always be improved.

I'll certainly get a tv capable of handling Opera and those great features, the buying option would be awesome

does anybody knows if this will ever make it to end-users ?

I really prefer Opera.

nice!

This is a great demo of the Opera widgets on a TV. I would definitely buy one.
