Most remotes are crap - however they will prevail for quite some time yet so thinking of better ways to navigate ITV content using these clunky remotes makes sense. I was playing around with the remote for a project of ours and this, while a neat interface, was not directly applicable to what we were doing.

The thought here is to mimic the button faces on the remote allowing us to cycle through four categories of content using the directional button as well as having four quick-links from the color buttons.
