(a) All of Myth core feature should be easy to operate with only a 
remote.  It's kind of a design principle.

(b) having to whip out a keyboard/mouse has a really low WAF

(c) alt-tabbing to a browser window would obscure the playing video

(d) ever try to do *anything* in a browser with sub-par TV-out?  It'll
