Hi Ronni 

I used the remote plugged in last night. I have never mastered Siri. Daniel 
gave me a lesson in technique when he delivered the ATV but Siri never 
understands me. Recently I have had a lot of experience talking to robots on 
the phone. Maybe I should try Siri again?

Thanks and best wishes from Diana
