Article: "Salone Milan 2012: Interface design of IKEA's Uppleva TV furniture unit" - found at Core77
The article talks about one of IKEA's new pieces of furniture, which also happens to be a TV unit. As it is one of theirs, they got to design the interface. Personally, I think it looks pretty nice. It's neat and organized, as shown above in the home screen.
The organization and simplification stays consistent throughout the application pages on the smart TV, as can be seen in the images below:
The design appeals to me because it is simple, easy to get through multiple screens and therefore do what you want to do efficiently, and appealing to look at. I wouldn't have a problem reading this stuff -- the app logos are large, the text is simple and uncluttered, and the organization in general is way easier to understand than, say, an iPhone's (which is much more user-changeable and personalized) -- which is what bothers me a lot with some of the designs out there.
