It certainly could work using rfb's (remote frame buffers) similar to
vnc, if you want to do it with custom pages and not general web
browsing.   In fact the simple client/server that Hauppauge provides,
serves primarily a local MSIE "web site" redirected via rfb and
integrating proprietary streaming audio and video to the mvp using
java or activex scripting   Before I found the mvpmc I had totally
redrawn these pages to meet my needs.

Another example of how this skinning works is the Beyond TV Skin project

Before looking at other options, you should look at the hardware frame
buffer, most devices can't offer more than 256 colours on screen at
the same time.
