I don't find anything confusing about it. It's using voice, a trackpad, and what looks to be some sort of Kinect. Almost like it took the entertainment part of an Xbox and put it directly into the TV. Which of course opens the door for content delivery systems not regulated, controlled, and earning money for the big boys in broadcasting. Of course they don't like it

Agree. Nothing even remotely confusing about it (unless you're just plain dumb).

It'll be interesting to see if TV networks are able to blackmail TV manufacturers like this, something that's sure to set a precedent for other countries.
