Re: Not a lot of new features?
Hmmm - so does that mean that instead of having a remote control with dedicated buttons that will control (say) the TV volume directly via an IR beam, you can instead use your phone and (after entering your PIN or fingerprint) open an app which (provided you select the correct menu item) has touchscreen buttons that allow you to adjust the TV volume. Whereupon your phone will use your WiFi to contact a server halfway across the World and request it to send data back across 6000 miles or so to contact the IR blaster by your elbow and request that it send the IR code to adjust your TV's volume? Which will take a while to get right because the lag means that you are constantly overshooting from too loud to too soft.
Although if it gets too slow during peak times or internet/server outages, you can always stand up, walk across the room and use the controls on the TV set (not a lot of people know of that alternative).
