  I did a job for OpenTV, the kind of thing where you navigate hotspots on the screen with a remote, and it sucked... The hardware was extremely slow to the point where firing events on hover or running a function with setInterval would slow everything down and cause some odd display issues, like black bands to stretch the entire width of the display. What's more, the browser was some custom job by a team in China that was fairly competent but I couldn't help but wish they just used Gecko or WebKit instead. On top of all this their API documentation was rather unhelpful.

  It was an interesting experience, in a way, but I wouldn't want to do it again.
