Sounds awkward. I don't want to yawn and pause my movie or scratch my head and suddenly be watching My Little Pony instead of The Dark Knight.

My thoughts exactly.

Do you really think it will be designed to work that way?

 One of the things I've noticed from using TrackIR is just how much I move my head (my body as well) during gaming. This is one of the disadvantages of head tracking. With a flight sim the advantage of TrackIR out weigh this disadvantage while racing games they are about the same. Anything else like FPS TrackIR is more annoying than helpful. 

 This is why I'm a little skeptically about just how usefully Natal will be. I can see that in some cases (like TrackIR) Natal will be  very helpful but not as much as it's being hyped.

In terms of gaming I completely agree at this point but for this kind of application I think it will be fairly easy to work round such problems by simply having a 'turn on' gesture so that random movements do not alter your tv settings ect.

 

What if someone makes the turn on gesture without meaning to? Unless you're thinking about a ridiculous gesture that will make people laugh everytime you want to control the TV...
