By pressing a physical button. Not with a remote control. Honestly, I could
live with that. And I would prefer it.

It could, but that very function is so buggy that it takes days to get it
working.
And it would be a lame excuse. One could still make that a choice that the
end user makes. I would even be willing to physically press the button in
the living room on the (few) days where I want the Touch to serve another SB
in the kitchen...

And yes, maybe you won't believe it, but I do physically switch of my TV
set. For the same reason. I rarely watch TV anyhow and I would be pissed off
with the device being responsible for pollution...
