Does the TiVo have a remote that recognizes voices? By the ads on TV, Spectrum remotes now responds to voice.
I’m guessing the Google and Amazon remotes do as well. It’s the way to go, ask what you want to watch, what music you want to play…use the remote away from the machine…heck the other day there was a lady in my office and I was demonstrating how to control the house with the Apple Watch, I simply moved the watch up (you no longer have to say “Hey Siri” on the watch), I said turn the kitchen lights to 50%…I didn’t mean it but Siri came came back and said “Request Sent”….dang, hope my wife wasn’t in the room. It’s the same with the TV remote, hold the button and speak what you want. We always have Christmas music playing while eating and opening gifts, I would press the microphone button and request whatever they wanted to hear and it would play through the Bose system with the TV turned off… All this works together very nicely…tonight I’m in the office working on taxes, listening to the HomePods, controlling them with the Apple Watch….it’s Buck Rogers for sure..
