It provides both voice and text interaction modes, and an easy user interface that exposes common feature easily. Just ask it a question and it will give you the answer. The Siri application attempts to be the ubiquitous Star Trek computer. On the recommendation of Merlin Mann on MacBreak Weekly, I downloaded the Siri iPhone application and gave it a try. In my previous post, I discussed the trend toward computing appliances (ie DVRs, Kindles, etc.) instead of general purpose computers. This system requires a converter box at the source and destination, but allows all of the signals to travel over a pair of Cat-5 cables. This allows signals from that room to be transmitted back to the basement and be 'seen' by the components there.įor the second HD TV, I use a system from Audio Authority ( Model 9871 + Wall Plates) to transmit a High Def (HD) component video signal, digital audio signal, and IR signal to the second room. I also have a Cat-5 run to each television with an IR Sensor.

Now ever TV can tune to a channel, say 63, and display the output from the SD DirecTV DVR. I then combine the Antenna feed with the Channel Vision output and run it on the RG-6 that runs to each television in the house. This devices takes up to 4 standard definition sources (audio and video) and modulates them onto broadcast channels. For the Standard Definition (SD) televisions, I use a Channel Vision E4200 RF converter. The rest of the rooms require some alternative transmission mechanism.
The speakers are wired directly from the AV Receiver in the basement.
The sound is sent back to the basement from the DVD and game consoles using digital audio connections. The DVRs are wired directly to the TV using Component and S-Video connections. The Basement and Family Room are in close proximity, allowing direct wiring of all the devices. Most of the components are in the basement, with the exception of the disc based components (DVD Players and game consoles).
