Television is already the perfect UI for passive users. I would simply avoid that whole market and culture and pretend it doesn't exist while we starve it of creativity. Eventually active consumers will outnumber passive ones (or active behavior outpace passive behavior, minor difference)
Assuming your not designing for television watchers, then the simple matter of the distance from the screen does become an intense source of changes in UI design.
