"The digital living room really has opportunities for everybody," said Kurt Scherf, a vice president and principal analyst for research firm Parks Associates. "It clearly starts with video, and how you enhance things like video on demand."

Internet-enabled TVs were about a quarter of 2010 TV sales, says Parks Associates. By 2015, they'll make up three-quarters of all TV sales.

Scherf, the Parks Associates vice president, said motion-controlled remotes are on the horizon. They would use similar technology to Microsoft's Kinect, the Xbox add-on that recognizes players' gestures and voices.
