I hope he doesn't talk to it, especially with the expectation that it talks back. (And not through a remote control either.) "You will change the channel!" "No, I won't!" "Don't make me sit on you again." "No! NO! Anything but that!"

Whether that's done by wire, radio, cell phone band or whatever is irrelevant. The point is that as long as there's a way to specifically access and target any one specific box, it will be done.
