We'd also like better integration, so we could enter one zip code for all of the location-dependent widgets, for example. We tested the system and it worked well, with the rep guiding us through changes he made in real-time while we never had to press a button. Advanced users might not like the idea of a rep tooling around inside their TVs the rep can make changes that nuke your picture settings, for example; we had to re-calibrate our sample from scratch after our demo , but beginners will love having live help there to hold their virtual hands.
