The voice control is the best thing ever. It worked on every single command I have given it. Truly amazing technology. Ordered two of them and I'll be ordering two more.

I agree. My four year old who is still discovering speech and how to make certain sounds (he puts a 't' in place of a 'k', which really makes talking about kitties interesting) he is able to 100% control the tv the way he needs to. He knows how to voice command, and how to get to certain areas in the guide. And because there are less buttons to learn, he doesn't get confused as quickly. He understands short and long presses have different results. Every parent of a young child should have one of these for their own sanity (GD Nickolodean and Disney with their addictive shows and multiple channels).
The "make me a cup of coffee, dammit" voice command for the remote is a bit wonky though...
Every time I say it, my wife slaps me...
Hope they get that fixed soon...

There is not an emoticon to explain how hard I just laughed.
I ordered one last night based on y'alls reviews. Excited to give it a try.
Be warned, don't ever try the "make me a sammich" or "get me a beer" commands.
Never tried it myself, but I think the remote self-destructs from being thrown across the room.
I hear ya. There is nothing like a remote control that doesn't respond properly! Drives me insane.
