The new Roku interface that has landed is looking pretty good, but I would like to make a suggestion. The interface currently is solely on the bottom. This makes it take more of the center of the screen, where activity is more likely to occur. If the title/episode/Date information was moved to the top, then you would be able to use the interface without losing so much screen space.
I tend to like minimalist interfaces, so it would also be nice to have an option to remove all of the extra space around the control panel.
