How many settings does a typical TV have these days? You can modify all of those with a d-pad.

I see your point, but I wouldn’t exactly uphold TV menu navigation as a model of good user design.

Smart TV's effectively have touch-style interfaces as well now, where the remote is like using a mouse in free space versus the traditional D pad. The LG Freespace and Sony One Flick come to mind.
