I have some more information on the Settop Box from Metabox 
( http://www.metabox.de/ ) a "WebTV" that runs OS/2.
"the box uses Embedded OS/2 Warp 4, FP10, the latest IP 
stack, Netscape 4.61, Java 1.1.8 and a lot of special 
applications. It is meant for usage with any TV and allows 
you to browse the internet with all features like Java, 
JavaScript, SSL, Certificates... 

The unique feature is BOT, a technology to receive a 
constant 70kpbs data stream of the standard PAL signal 
without harming the visible and audible TV signal. This is 
mainly interesting in countries like Germany where phone 
connections are still paid per minute and considerably 
expensive."

(thanks to Achim Hasenmueller for the info)
