American owners of Samsung Smart TVs will be able to use their TV remotes to buy David Beckham’s clothes during the Super Bowl. Clothing retailer H&M will run a 30-second commercial for the soccer star’s Bodywear spring collection during FOX’s telecast of Super Bowl XLVIII, in which viewers with compatible TVs will be able to purchase items through their television using a “t-commerce platform.”

That platform is provided by Delivery Agent, a “market leader in turning TV viewers into revenue generating customers,” and will be shown in action at CES this week.
