Adobe Flash Lite for Digital Home is in news now-a-days. Recently Intel's Sodaville announced that they are going to use Flash. Now its TiVo, which announced its new Set-top box which uses Adobe Flash Platform.

This device has several new menus with a very rich UI:

TiVo Central
TiVo Search
Tivo Browser (Tivo Content Browsing, not a html browser)
My Shows etc

Apart from this, the Remote is pretty exciting with QWERTY Keyboard and very much like the way needed to navigate different Applications.
