Funny. When I asked Siri for a hint I got a bunch of local random contact numbers for people with the last name Hunt. Thanks Siri!

And yes Siri read HINT not HUNT!
 
This one is good :D

Why is Siri the thing people are excited about on Apple TV? I would think an App Store would be the big draw....

Unless it works like an Echo. An Echo that could play music (and just about anything else) on a kick-ass entertainment system! I thought "Hey Siri" could replace what echo does, but it's really deficient in the "always listening" area.

iOS has been there for over a year. It finally seems like an  TV App Store launch is imminent.

Come on... The "Hey Siri," has gotta be a nod towards the Apple TV's remote acting as the microphone for Siri...

"Hey Siri, show me movies with Emily Blunt."

"Hey Siri, play some pop music."

Echo is really great and gets better almost every single week.
 
I'm only excited about Apple music on Apple TV, but i think this won't happen too.. "notice Apple said this in relation to an Android this September, they never mentioned Apple music on Apple TV in particular."

Agreed. If a new ATV is coming and it meets the hype I'm buying! I use my ATV a lot a new remote would be nice though since I use the iOS remote app it's not a must. I'd much rather have Siri and an App Store.

I can imagine them updating the remote app to include Siri support.
