I can tell you, they don't know enough, because with us having the tv, we
can do a whole lot with it, and yes all the menues talk. Also, Pam, just
like anything else you talk too, even an automated system, even when you're
talking to the tv a times you might have to say something again which we
found out when we tried it just a few times, so it's great with all the
menues talking.It's almost a whole year that we've had the tv and only
talked to it once, and that was to just try it. otherwise we don't have a
nned to talk to it since you can do everything with the menues.
