From this article, it seems that MAC UK has done almost nothing. Both the OS and JVM are provided by WRS. All MAC UK had to do was to layout the board and put the box together, and maybe write some drivers. It is not clear if the mentioned application such as word processor and games were written by MAC UK. Neither is there any mentioning of the run time resource requirement. The worst part that no connection type is given, which makes this news release almost meaningless. The interesting part was the the JVM took 2.5MB to implement and it runs on a 233MHz CPU. That's a lot of ROM space and an expensive CPU. Yet the set-top box market seems to be going through a trimming down process right now, as WebTV has announced that its new set-top will be without a hard disk to save cost.
