\o/ thanks for sharing Dietrich
Can't wait to hear more of your experience and feedback from more events

There is a newly posted article on MDN, perhaps this will help with app
development on TV
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/TVs_connected_devices/TV_remote_control_navigation

I'm interested to understand cursor needs on TV app development. Thought
that most TV apps will have better experience if the app supports arrow key
events with a traditional TV remote?

The cursor in the TV browser is a special implementation. There are some
gecko work that's still needed for cursor support in general but i'm not
the best person to talk about the technical details. I will let others
chime in
