There is one more thing that I noticed. Canonical showcased Ubuntu TV at CES on a Samsung Smart TV. So, it might just be possible that this might end up being like the desktop market:
Install Ubuntu TV alongside the default OS of the new Smart TV that you have. OR Install Ubuntu TV on something like a Raspberry Pi Model B (because it has an ethernet port) and connect this board to the HDMI port on the TV that you already own (read: non-Smart TV). Note: Currently there is an issue due to which a Raspberry Pi board cannot run Ubuntu. It currently runs Debian, Fedora and ArchLinux only. But that is different matter altogether. Of course, in either case, this DIY system will need a lot of technical know-how. Best Regards, Rigved Rakshit -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
