Siri used to control home television set
With rumors ramping up of a Siri-controlled Apple television coming from Apple, Todd Treece was able to beat them to the punch and get Siri to fully control his television set using an Arduino IR remote setup and SiriProxy.
We've seen Siri do amazing things like start your car and control your home thermostat using SiriProxy as well, but this setup actually shows the power of having Siri used as a remote control for your TV.
We'll have to wait until Apple ultimately releases their own television set with Siri control before we see something like this hit the masses, but in the meantime you can get your own setup going as long as you don't mind a little bit of hackery.

Oh. Man. If this is the future Apple TV, I would rather use a remote. So troublesome to do something as simple as changing the channel!
Isn't this what significant others are for?
The idea of an Apple TV controlled by Siri is awesome until I realize that Comcast will still manage to F it all up!
I changed the channel for your lazy as. Hahaha
Why do you not have HTML 5? FAUK!
