Well, sure, but what you're basically offering here is a "connected TV" whose
"remote control" is more expensive than the TV. It's certainly possible for
consumers to have this option, but I don't think it's necessary to make iPad
ownership a prerequisite.
A remote pad-like device, not much different from my remote mouse, which can be
swiped like an iPad screen, should cost very little. Or, just give the consumer
a regular remote mouse. And the IP "tuner" built into the TV set should equally
not add very much to the price of the set, I don't think. Very much the same
arguments as back 10+ years ago, wrt digital "tuners."
