I'm looking at this to be an HTPC solution only.
I really like the metro interface for HTPC, I can put tiles for Netflix, hulu, youtube, etc. Then, the specific web pages that don't have apps like big 10 network, starz, etc (have to go to non metro browser though, which is fine).
I can get this all set up exactly how I want it. But, it only works nice when I'm at a desk with a cpu in front of me with a mouse and keyboard.
I imagine the exact same setup would work great on a tablet also, but then the viewing experience would be on the tablet, and not the monitor / TV.
So, essentially, what I am looking for is a way to set up a tablet to be the interface I want, tiles organized how I need them, etc. I would be always looking at the tablet, browsing, say, Hulu for example until I found the show I wanted. Then, on the tablet, I'd tap the show, and it would magically play on the TV. I would do this for all apps, including plex, xbmc, hulu, Netflix, etc.
I have ran into some apps like Splashtop that sort of work, but they seem to scale to the size of the screen from the PC. meaning, what displays nice on the PC ends up being small on the tablet and hard to read.
Anyone have any recommendations?
