Qt and Qt Quick on the Freebox Player set-top box
summary
Freebox builds the set-top UI with Qt and Qt Quick starting early 2010, targets an Atom 1.2 GHz + PowerVR SGX platform, and replaces a Swing UI with a QML-based compositor stack. It implements a media player, Blu‑ray playback, an app store and game partnerships (Gameloft, Gametree TV), supports multiple TV resolutions and pointer remote, and ships optimizations to address initial Qt Quick performance.
