LazyBinger: Voice TV Remote

TYPE A CHANNEL NUMBER A fourth mode joins the arrows, the trackpad and the keyboard: the keypad. Punch in 2-7 to land on 27, open teletext, press the red key, call up the guide or the subtitles. Each brand shows only the keys it can really send — never a button that does nothing. THE LIGHT BEHIND THE SCREEN Philips sets with Ambilight get their own card. Tap it to light the wall, hold it to choose what the glow follows: the picture, the sound, or a fixed mood like Lava or Deep water. Every choice leaves for the TV the moment you touch it. Premium. ALL YOUR APPS The remote now lists what your TV really has installed — and Philips sets can open apps at all, for the first time. A new screen holds the full inventory: search it, pin what you want on the remote, and sort it your way or the way the TV does. Also: the Source key to switch inputs, and the usual round of fixes. Thanks for binging lazily
