Edit: Is instructing a TV so complicated that a very basic, multi-user piece of built-in software with a minimal number of preset (only) commands couldn't do the job?
The issue emerged with the advent of Samsung’s audio-capable smart remotes, which allow the user to speak commands in a way Siri users are familiar with. This functionality requires processing beyond the TV’s (or iPhones’) capabilities, a problem solved by remotely processing the requests. This solution gave rise to the privacy problem, perceived or not.
