Talking to your TV

Motorola and AgileTV are working on a way that you can feel less embarrassed when you talk back to your television:
set-top boxes with built-in voice recognition so you can change channels and schedule shows to be recorded just by talking into a little microphone built-into your remote control. Sounds like a headache if all you want to do is switch channels, but with digital video recorders being integrated into all of these boxes, being able to just say what show you want to watch or record will probably be a heck of a lot easier than trying to tap it out on a keypad.
