It's long been on my wish list to support controlling MythTV by voice.
 And no, I don't mean standing in front of the TV and saying "Up, up,
enter, right, enter", but rather having a structured language for
control which could be spoken, more like "Watch Recordings.  List The
Daily Show.  Play last Thursday's episode.".

This is the only way I can see really doing complex searching/actions
without requiring a full keyboard.

When I win the lottery and quit my day job, I think I'll begin working on this.
