I need to build a system that uses an API that searches for Youtube content, with functionality exactly as described by https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_api_query_parameters, but where the results are shown in youtube/tv (i.e. accessible and browsable just using cursor keys, select and back, as used in https://www.youtube.com/tv#/browse)
Having searched extensively, I cannot find a solution. Does one exist?
Thanks, Andrew

If I were to interpret your question broadly, it would be "is there an open source version of youtube.com/tv that I could repurpose". The answer to that is no. You're going to have to do some heavy lifting yourself.
If you want a starting off point, you could take a look at the JavaScript source for http://stb-web-app.appspot.com/static/index.html, either just directly from within a browser's development tools or from the SVN repo. That example doesn't give you exactly what you're looking for, but it does illustrate how to detect specific key presses and display YouTube feeds in a "set top box" environment.
