It’s interface could be a small GUI screen/touchpad. Of course it’s got to roll to the left and to the right, similiar to what the iPad does today. But I’d have the “small-colored-squares” interface that windows has today. I don’t want my GUI to be another TV. I’d rather have it primarily displaying single solid colorful graphics to me all based on my TV watching tendencies!

It’s from a bygone era where the GUI didn’t exist and people memorized channel numbers (I don’t think that’s happened for decades, especially with the advent of the cable TV guide).
