I recall reading FxOS could access the hardware and support
Picture-in-Picture (PIP) on TV devices.
The following diagram is my kind of PIP: The Holy Grail for connected TV
development

* Can I (we) code this type of "digital signage" application on the
Panasonic TV sets now?
* If not implemented now are the core FxOS developers working to get this
type of synergy implemented? 

My understanding of FxOS TV broadcast streaming [1] suggests --no not now--
I (we) cannot have the holy grail --yet-- because rescaling the size of the
broadcasted TV stream is already being done in legacy hardware and the
manufacturers do not have an incentive to adopt a new way of doing so.

Is this a correct assessment and if so when if ever will we get the holy
grail which currently can be done spending ~$1k for an accessory in a box
called a digital signage media player.
