Sky has unveiled an iPad app that could finally mean the end of hunting for the TV remote.

The system is also set to be upgraded with 'social TV' features to let users share what they are watching with friends.

Comcast has that. Either way remote control won't "end".

That's still a remote control, in a way.

It still is a remote control. Controlling the TV remotely. What a misleading article title. Though I must say, I wouldn't mind having this for myself. My family always lose the TV remote so I guess this would be pretty handy. Maybe if it in-cooperated some sort of voice recognition going, that would be pretty cool

Randomly adding voice recognition to stuff doesn't make it cooler. A remote control is the last thing that needs voice recognition.

Yes finally I always loose the remote

It won't end production for sure.

Apps like that have been around for awhile already, it's nothing new.

Still controls something, it's still a remote xD
But it sounds damn neat!
