SHOUT TO CHANGE CHANNELS

EVERYONE loves to shout at the TV while the sport is on and the JL9000 from John Lewis gives you a legitimate reason to do so — thanks to a function that allows you to turn it on and off, change channels, alter the volume and even perform internet searches by voice activation. Alternatively, just wave the remote around, Harry Potter wand-style, to select functions. You can also watch programmes in 3D (two pairs of 3D glasses are included), access YouTube, Skype, Twitter and Facebook, and even call on the help of an onscreen cartoon character should you run into problems.
