I'm imagining my in-laws yelling answers at the tv game show... then the channel flips, they both are yelling at the stupid thing to switch back, and each other for changing channels... can't find the remote or the hearing aids... Mayhem. |

Put the microphone in the remote. Set remote on coffee table. Lie back on couch. Speak softly at the remote. Have a croissant. |
|

I do want to be able to shout, "MUTE!" if I'm in the bathroom and one of those Mazda (or Time Warner Cable) commercials comes on. ++ for you. |
|
|
I can watch horse racing anymore... |
|
|
yes!!!! but can it please recognize SHUT UP instead of mute? |
|
|
// Put the microphone in the remote // There's a TV remote [link] that understands voice commands. But it doesn't say if you need to push a button first. |

A voice activated television? Hey, it could turn itself off! |
|
|
This would definitely help those who either have a cast or splint on one or both hands. If you've ever had to wear some device on your hand(s) and tried to operate a remote control you will know what I'm taking about. |
|
|
What if the remote is a Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer? |
|
|
But that means that I'll never be able to watch myself on the television. |

When I read the title I had a different idea. Stop talking and the tv turns off. To promote 'active' tv-watching and social behaviour (tv viewers talking to each other). |
