Devices have started to perform complex functions, given the two key enablers. The first enabler is a high level of integration and the ubiquity of System On Chip (SoC) components. The second enabler is the broadband connectivity access (the Internet). Complex functional requirements are followed with a new graphical user interface (UI) requirements. The focus of this paper is to present methods of the development of graphical user interfaces for TV and set-top box (STB) devices, which became ubiquitous thanks to the terrestrial television digitalization and the overall growth in service offerings by operators. New offers, such as IPTV, Video On Demand, Catch Up TV etc. all require a new approach to the design of graphical user interface (GUI) for the TV screen. TV GUI today has become a key feature of a TV device. It enables users to easily access vast number of available functions.

Devices have started to perform complex functions, given the two key enablers. The first enabler is a high level of integration and the ubiquity of System On Chip (SoC) components. The second enabler is the broadband connectivity access (the Internet). Complex functional requirements are followed with a new graphical user interface (UI) requirements. The focus of this paper is to present methods of the development of graphical user interfaces for TV and set-top box (STB) devices, which became ubiquitous thanks to the terrestrial television digitalization and the overall growth in service offerings by operators.
