Tizi remote a rare use of Siri outside Apple
Equinux has developed a rare app that uses Siri outside of Apple's own. Tizi Remote (free, App Store) lets users remotely control either a TV attached to a Tivi or an iPad attached to a Tivi Go wireless receiver, turning it into a TV with live channels and DVR-like recording. Siri comes into play as a simple channel changing system: Equinux uses the voice dictation feature to pick channels by speaking their names.
The Tizi software is free, but requires either the Tizi hub at €140 ($183) or the Tizi Go at €100 ($130). Equinux hasn't said if it will expand to other countries. [via The Verge]
