Personal internet communicator

A set top box device (similar with a DVD player), that will be always connected to Internet and always silently running.

The device is for non-tech peoples (elderly people).
By simple switching the TV on channel 3 (etc), you’ll see some information summary: number of messages received, pictures received, weather, local news, etc.
By using an advanced remote the user will be able to write emails, navigate albums, etc
Always connected on an instant messenger type software
Make a beep when receives messages
Optional have PVR card and software
The interface should be very friendly – for example when is in stand by should always scroll weather and local news info in a way similar with the channel that give tv program
The device is a good opportunity for shopping
