The only issue is making it work. Frankly, I'll be surprised if Natal is anywhere near that level, but in the future, you probably won't be using a hand held TV remote.

I crossed out what I thought were superfluous words.

Btw, working from a list of commands is easy peasy in comparison to recognition typing by at least a factor of 10.

All of those (except volume) are superfluous functions - what's the point in having the ability to change channel, when there are no broadcasts? By the time this tech is in most people's homes, all content will be delivered on demand.
