> and Netflix is no great shakes either
And this is mostly because Netflix wants to hide the true extent of their library.
Hulu just had a recent, awful re-design too. They cover in-active thumbnails with gradients, you can barely see anything.
Apple TV (which I like as among the best) also has a ridiculously unergonomic remote and very confusing UI (do I want to press "menu" or "home"? And now the TV app is 'home' by default, it's even weirder...somehow, even though I know I think how it works, I always seem to press the wrong one.) And no picture-in-picture either, though their processors are plenty fast enough to support it. But their standard built-in TVML-based interfaces are functional, if a little boring, and the UI is responsive. And hey, at least they aren't showing me ads in the UI or tracking what I watch. But still, lots of little problems.
So much room for improvement here, by everyone.
