Let's all just be patient a bit longer and I'm sure the new Apple TV will give us a lot more flexibility and at least we know it will be completely accessible. From what I heard it is very likely that it will feature SIRI and a lot of voice control as well, but as Jeff pointed out, none of that search by voice is doing us any good if we can't navigate and select from the search results.

It is not at all accessible nor useable. I bought it for my wife and it's a great media box for those who can navigate by seeing the TV screen for menus. But, nothing is spoken so there's no way of selecting functions, selecting from among search results, etc. HTH, Jeff At 11:50 AM 8/11/2014, you wrote: >Hi Everyone, > >I received an advertisement for the Amazon Fire TV this morning.
