1. A method of utilizing a television (TV) device for consumer electronics (CE) applications, comprising:
- receiving, at the television (TV) device, a request to transfer an executable CE application from a consumer electronics device to the TV device;
receiving the executable CE application from the consumer electronics device;
receiving application state information associated with the executable CE application from the consumer electronics device;
storing the executable CE application to a memory;
storing the application state information to the memory;
receiving a request to pause execution of the executable CE application and storing a current state of execution of the executable CE application as modified application state information associated with the CE application in the memory in response to receiving the request; and
receiving a request to transfer the executable CE application to the consumer electronics device via the TV remote control device, where receiving the request to transfer the executable CE application to the consumer electronics device further comprises receiving the request based upon a user option presented within a Cross Media Bar (XMB) associated with a graphical user interface (GUI) of a TV user interface application executed on the TV device.

Abstract
A request to transfer a consumer electronics (CE) executable application from a consumer electronics device to a TV device is received at the TV device. The CE executable application is received from the consumer electronics device. Application state information associated with the executable CE application is received from the consumer electronics device. The executable CE application and the application state information are stored to a memory. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
