Developing rich UI contents
In order to develop rich custom UI for channel with menus and user interactions, something like YouTube or the old Dish, is there any other way other than roImageCanvas and drawing everything ? I know...

I was wondering about the HTML5 thing, although I didn't think the Roku was powerful enough for that. According to Anthony Wood:
'Tis true, which is why you and I can't do it, but we know the new Netflix is HTML5 (using their own custom web engine), and I'm 95% sure YouTube is (http://www.youtube.com/tv).

Can roImageCanvas draw anything else but images and text (i.e. lines, rectangles)?
Also the TargetRotation property - does it support arbitrary angles or only multitudes of 90?
It's been a long time since I wrote that channel, but it can do rectangles (and rectangles that look like lines). No triangles or other shapes, and I seem to recall TargetRotation being limited to 90 degrees, but I'm not positive about that.
