If I want a touch screen remote, I'll buy a touch screen remote. If I want an iPod, I'll buy an iPod. I think that Apple is probably trying to do too much with one device. Tivo may be guilty of this too.I'm assuming the idea is that this will use wifi to communicate over the network to the box. What happens when I'm on the phone/using the microwave/something else that may interfere with wireless or my router goes down and I want to change the channel. I think that the limitations of using a wifi interface are probably a little too much to make this that great of an idea. Meh. If I want a touch screen remote, I’ll buy a touch screen remote.

Another TV that has the DVR could pop something up and have you press to record and then that would sync with your box when you got home.

But, if the remote goes with you, I could see the use of selecting something in the EPG, and also if the content goes with you, as in the instance you said - if it were an iPod.
