Services like AppleTV and Netflix augment the TV viewing experience. Consequently, these services aim to be usable for as large a fraction of TV viewers as possible. Viewers span every age group and nearly all backgrounds. Some simply flip through channels whereas want to watch something specific. We target the latter group of users because they are likely to utilize the search features of these services which is the most common scenario in which the on screen keyboard is displayed.
