You mean something like mobilemyth: http://www.mobilemyth.net/ <http://www.mobilemyth.net/> 
 I believe their aim is an HTML based frontend, similar to what your talking about.

 Hi Dave,

 I want to do this because I want to use Plex Media Server to serve
 mythtv recordings to my Samsung TV as it has a native Plex client.
 
 A buddy of mine got a Samsung TV, too. He asked me how he could use it
 as MythTV frontend. As the models from 2011 on support HTML 5 and HLS
 streaming I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to create a dedicated
 MythTV frontend instead of fiddling about with multiple tools.

 e.g. change MythWeb to use the JWPlayer and HLS streaming, then
 add/reactivate a template for devices with limited screen estate
 (IIRC there was once an iPad template)
 
 Pro: You get to manage recordings, too
 
 Con: It appears to be slightly more work.
 
 Have you (or someone else on this list) considered that approach?
 
 Regards,
 Karl
 
 PS: Creating a HbbTV compatible web frontend sounds good, too. But I'm
 not sure that MythTV's streaming code and HbbTV support a common
 streaming protocol.

I did take a look at mobilemyth (but not on the TV), it seems quite promising, but the last update I downloaded didn't work and I kind of put it to one side. If I can get it working again, I'll try it on the Samsung TV.
