Sounds cool... From what I've seen, it's basically like other Roku set top boxes only integrated into the TV. This allows them to control the TV settings, inputs and other things ( like say a DVD or a game box, that you've hooked up ). With the "channels" like Netflix, Hulu and the like... it's a nice first step in cutting the cable ... even if you still have to pay for the services as you would on CableTV... the difference being is that you get to select what it is that you want to purchase access for instead of being restricted to just the packages that the CableTV provider offers. Of course you still need a good high speed internet in order to stream the movies and tv shows that you may want to watch.
Similar setup boxes ( not integrated in the TV though ) are AppleTV and Amazon FireTV and FireStick...
I use a similar thing that is more... customizable... called Kodi ( previously named XBMC ) which runs on Windows based MediaPC and there are also other versions made for Android, Raspberry Pi etc...
