I hate buying batteries, so I'm okay with this.

I'd be happy with a TV that had a button that would make my lost remote beep so I don't have to tear all the cushions off the couch.

Or fishing the remote out of the couch.

Or having to deal with the fallout when the Harmony remote fails to properly change the TV + Stereo between the Wii and PS3. Who's brilliant idea at Logitech thought it would be a good idea to have the remote try to keep up with the current settings of the TV/Receiver?

Just integrate half of this.

Ok. Done. What else you need help with?

I guess if you're lonely and watch TV by yourself all the time those might come in handy, but probably pretty useless with a family.

Remote? Who needs one? I just use mind bullets!

Also, what s1ugg0 said

Soon you'll be able to watch Jersey Shore, then Tweet all your friends about it just by flailing your hands in the air. All from the comfort of your couch.

Welcome to the future!

Shoot me.

It's called, "having a kid." They'll bring you beer, too, on command.

jerk off and channel surf at the same time!

America sounds fat.

Tony_Pepperoni: Anyone remember having to get up from the couch, walk to the TV and turning the dial?

/any one?
//yes I'm old

My batteries died the other week, and I had to suffer through that indignity.

Fortunately I got 100 batteries at Frys for something like $20, so I'm safe for a while.

A loud clatter of gunk music flooded through the Heart of Gold cabin as Zaphod searched the sub-etha radio wavebands for news of himself. The machine was rather difficult to operate. For years radios had been operated by means of pressing buttons and turning dials; then as the technology became more sophisticated the controls were made touch-sensitive - you merely had to brush the panels with your fingers; now all you had to do was wave your hand in the general direction of the components and hope. It saved a lot of muscular expenditure of course, but meant that you had to sit infuriatingly still if you wanted to keep listening to the same programme.

Bring on the OLED paint.

As a father of 5 year old twins I can say that gesture controlled TV's would SUCK! If you could write a program that could differentiate their random movements from mine and determine my intentional movements (filtering out the wife's) then there are much better jobs for you.

/I was once that if my Dad had a remote controlled TV he wouldn't have had kids.
//I know it was a joke because there weren't any remote controlled antennas at the time.
///I still hear the clicks of the dial and the clunks of the antenna control, and sometimes the feel of the monkey wrench and hear that soft yell through the window "GO BACK SOME! NO!! THE OTHER WAY!!!"

I was once told etc....
sorry

That's telekinesis Kyle.

Television on! Pornography!

I'd be all for that, seeing as I can't get a decent universal remote that is inexpensive, easy to program, and that I don't have to write an instruction manual for the wife to use. As it is, I have to juggle the TV remote, DVD player remote (used to be two, since I had one for DivX, which has since migrated to the bedroom), sound system remote, and Wiimote.
